Yesterday was the day I finally told the last person I needed to tell about my retirement. I was waiting to tell her. I knew she'd be upset and she was. I need to let it go. It's just that she's my friend - or she was my friend. I knew she wanted me to stay on until her block was over but frankly, I don't want to. And what I tried to get across to her, I don't have to. I know that the SOM will not leave her in the lurch. I know that everything will be lined up and ready to go before I leave. But she's panicked because she has counted on me for last minutes things for years and years and years. I understand that but it's not about her. It's about me. For the first time in I can't remember how long, I won't be having nightmares during August. Hopefully I won't be getting sick time and again next fall either. No stress. Basically, I feel really bad - except I am not going to be working in 14 weeks. So I feel really happy too.
And today I'm going to get my new computer. My rose gold MacBook. The University Bookstore opens at 9 am and I'm going to get up there and get that thing before they run out of the rose gold. The no tax day is pretty popular for computer buying.
I got my manicure and pedicure and made it home in time to give Tink a nice walk and get ready for the 5 o'clock meeting. It was done before 6. Nice. Chicken for dinner and a movie. Then to bed to read. I know - boring life I lead, yes? I didn't even knit. Tonight. Tonight I will knit. AND at noon.
