The world looks a little different now that I've changed my work glasses to my retired glasses. Last night and this morning and have been consumed with changing the gels on my view of things. This will probably continue for a while...

Big stuff and little stuff. A nugget rolls through my brain and I evaluate and move on to the next one.

My living room will be minus one computer. Yeah! I can move my laptop over to that desk or get rid of the desk (it's a small rolling thing). The living room will be tidier.

Fortunately, I have been scrupulous about keeping my work computer for ONLY work - no personal stuff on it at all. So I can just close it down and drop it off at the boss's office. Easy peasy. I did make sure that I can access my company exchange mail on my personal computer so I can get any last doc's like my final pay stub (pdf). Also fortunately, a long time back, I set up my company email to send a copy of everything to gmail so I have it all here and searchable - all the paystubs and stuff.

No office so no office to pack up and no office supplies to pilfer.

I do need to get a better handle on exactly where my spending is. I downloaded a gazillion tracker apps last night but think I finally found the right one this morning. I just need something simple to jot down what I spend on what and when until I can get a clear picture.

I'm still waiting to hear from my finance guy - I'm giving him until 10, then I'm calling again. I did discover this morning that he transferred a bunch of money to a checking account that has been closed for 3 years. Not so good.

And I am wallowing in no-more-isms.... No more conference calls. No more dealing with work assholes. No more have-tos in my schedule. I can sleep when I want, wake when I want, take an hour to get to the pool if I want, take an hour to get home!

Let's do this thing!!!

Going from a 9-to-5 job in an office to freelance work was a huge change for me. I imagine going from job to retired is another huge change in a similar vein of opening up options or unrestricting previous restricted options.
