Where do I begin??? As much as I loved my job, I loved even more the free time I had to shop anytime other than wkends or lunch hours; get my hair done anytime; not wake up to the alarm clock; stay in my jammies all day if I felt like it; socialized with friends for lunch, dinner or a movie/play and not have to watch the clock to return to the office.....and on and on. Then when moving to TV the best of all was the peace and quiet around the 'hood with no skate boards clanking, constant motors of one sort or another (lawn mowers, sno blowers, trimmers) and dogs barking constantly and lastly getting away from the teen band up the street playing outside in the summer (YIKES).

I also became a HUGE procrastinator and love it; will do it tomorrow or thereabouts. To be able to just take off on a trip for a few days on a whim with little or no planning. The endless choices of activities here in TV.

It's a good life.
