Friday a week ago, Boobear and I turned in all company owned assets and officially retired. We cleaned the apartment we had on a short term lease, gave away or threw away what we no longer needed, loaded the rest in the cars and headed for the Autotrain in Lorton, Va. We arrived in TV on Thursday and started our life of leisure.

Wait a minute. Leisure? Since Thursday we've been assembling furniture for the lanai, moving boxes from the garage to the house and from the house to the garage and back again. We've been taking trips to numerous stores to stock the cupboards of the new house. We have spent countless hours looking for things that have disappeared despite the well marked boxes and impeccable organization. We still have tons to do.

If this keeps up we may have to go back to work to rest up. Wait!! What am I saying?

We are here forever!!!!

Exactly! Relax. There's no hurry now. You're retired. Go find something fun to do away from the stuff. It will all be there when you get back home.
Repeat as necessary!
