LOL! Courtney - I bet it's hard going back to work in the fall after having summers off! It was hard for me to come back after just 7 days off! LOL!<br /><br />Julia - thanks for the get well wishes for my daughter. Yesterday (Thursday) was a week since her surgery and she said she felt awful. Today she called me and said she didn't feel like she'd ever had surgery so she's on the mend and feeling bored because she isn't allowed to drive or lift anything heavier than 10 pounds, etc. <br /><br />Yep, with retirement comes less money so I've become a woman obsessed with getting bills paid off, more money in savings and all that good stuff. But it's still going to mean a cut in pay. That's how I justify buying all sorts of wool and patterns and fabric now - I'll have a stash to go through after I retire without even spending money! Yeah, right! I am working on small projects - my Christmas gifts so at least I'm making headway on those and stand to be ahead of the ball this Christmas! Yay!<br /><br />Thanks both of you for stopping by and chatting with me!Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854204361973832029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560948024109222888.post-56664381504801534852012-07-05T15:52:07.036-07:002012-07-05T15:52:07.036-07:00I TOO WOULD BE HAPPY TO RETIRE BUT WITH RETIREMENT...I TOO WOULD BE HAPPY TO RETIRE BUT WITH RETIREMENT THERE IS LESS PAY. I WOULD BE CONTENT OF NOT HAVING TO WORK 7 DAYS A WEEK AND HAVE A WEEK OF VACATION WITH MY HUSBAND BUT WE CAN'T TAKE TIME OFF TOGETHER. ANYWAY, THEY ALL COMPLAIN THAT LIFE GETS BUSIER AFTER RETIREMENT. I WONDER IF THERE IS TRUTH IN THAT. <br /><br />I'LL BE 66 THIS FALL AND I STILL DON'T SEE RETIREMENT ON THE HORIZON.<br /><br />I HOPE THAT YOUR DAUGHTER RECUPERATE FROM HER OPERATION REAL QUICK.<br /><br />IN THE MEAN TIME MAYBE YOU CAN WORK ON SMALL PROJECTS JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT.<br /><br />TAKE CARE.<br />HUGS<br /><br /> JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560948024109222888.post-64463992184296705552012-07-05T15:14:40.875-07:002012-07-05T15:14:40.875-07:00I hear your pain with the whole retirement issue! ...I hear your pain with the whole retirement issue! I'm off for the summer, but working full time is so exhausting. Gone are the days when one person could stay home and tend to the "home fires" and one could go to work. Even my husband says he likes having me home for the summer. With me home, weekends don't revolve around grocery shopping and laundry. I hope you see a break soon!!<br />Hugs,<br />CourtneySassafras and Winterberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153493021653446039noreply@blogger.com
