So now you know how I became "semi retired." Let's not deal with all the boring details between then and now. We'll fast forward to the present. Here's a recap of the high points between "then" and "now."
- Bought a house
- Moved from the Washington, D.C. area
- Got cable television and found The Food Network
- Collected unemployment
- Planted a garden (Check out the photos!)
- Collected unemployment a second time (thanks, President Obama)
- Signed up for Facebook and found lots of old friends
- Started doing some freelance writing, just to keep my skills fresh (Here's a sample of some of the stuff I'm writing about.)
There were lots of other things that happened, but not many of them were significant to anyone reading this. Most of my "free" time was consumed with dealing with my 92-year old mother's doctor appointments, shopping, laundry and other needs. Oh. And moving her to her own apartment in my new community.
I have found out that even though I'm semi-retired (and still loving it), there just isn't enough time in the day to do everything on my "to do" list!
