Things I will miss about the job I just left:
- Having a laptop with wireless capabilities and all of my favorites plugged in
- Sitting in a super-comfy ergonomic chair
- Taking advantage of a ridiculously casual dress code. Jeans and flats, I will miss you.
- Using a discretionary hobby allowance
- Having cute shops and fun bars within two blocks of the office.
Things in which I will revel this week:
- Spending time with Ted — he’s lying beside me now like a good little lap doggie
- Running errands, uninterrupted
- Baking desserts for church events: ’tis the season to try out pumpkin and apple recipes
- Watching JG’s volleyball team play
- Having time to knit — five more scarves to go before October 16…
- Walking to the downtown area in the freshly-minted fall weather
Hmm. How early can one qualify for early retirement?

I’m glad you took the week off. It’s so nice to have a little vacation time and breathing room between jobs!!
Yes, I think it’s pretty necessary, too.
I love time off between jobs. Enjoy your week of leisure!
I will!
Seriously? A discretionary hobby allowance? That’s awesome! I would miss that too….of course, what I’d really like is not have to spend big money out of my own pocket for classroom supplies…but such is life!
Enjoy your time off! How nice to have some down time between jobs to get everything situated…plus, I bet Ted is glad to have you to snuggle with!
I know, it’s all Ted all the time around here. JG is duly jealous.
Have a wonderfulllllll week!!!
All you need to retire is lots o’ money. No problem, right??
Uh, right. I’ll get right on diving through my piles of money.
Sounds like you’ll be having fun.
How many scarves have you made so far?
As of press time, I finished 5 out of 10, not including the end fringey bits. Halfway there!
I know! Why must retirement be so many years away. Or at least stay-at-home motherhood, but with the help of a full time nanny so I can take a lot of naps?
What, you mean that is so not happening? Darn!
I know… I’d really more like to be a stay-at-home PERSON. The motherhood thing is not so much up my alley. But if I were just a person of independent wealth (ahem), I could be so crafty! And make yummy desserts! And volunteer! And, uh, take a nap here and there! Right?
