RETIREMENT POSTPONED
Yes, I was so looking forward to not having to get up and go to work several days a week. The HR manager asked me on my last scheduled day if I would work in the pharmacy on Mondays for a while. I told her that would be doable. She then asked me about maybe working one Saturday a month. I told her I did not want to work on Saturday and December would be hard as I already had plans for the 6th and 13th (craft shows) and was not sure about the plans for our Christmas. I may tell her that beginning in January, I can work the one Saturday. I don’t know how long she will need me, but as long as is necessary is ok with me.
I like working in the pharmacy and the hours are great 10-4, or even less if the pharmacist doesn’t need me. I do like those hours. I will still have Tuesday thru Sunday to bead, clean house, play with the grandchildren, attend craft shows, visit friends, or whatever else I may want to do including preparing my DH supper and having it ready when he comes in from work.
I have already signed up for social security, will receive my first “rocking chair” money in March. The few hours that I will be working will not put me over the limit of what I can make. Therefore, I do not have to worry about making so much money that I will have to pay back some of the social security that I get.
Life is good!
Retirement! What a wonderful thought. You will find that you work harder for yourself than you did for your employer. LOL
