I’m back!! I give! Yes, it has been too long since I have written…so much has happened.
I will begin by saying I am retired. I never thought I would ever, ever, ev
er…”not teach” !
Now after 40 years I am finished. I keep getting asked the question, “How does it feel to be retired?” I honestly don’t know, it just seems normal…a summer that I haven’t taken any classes in technology, that’s all.
I have been reading posts on Facebook about working in “classrooms” and meetings next week for two days…really?? I’m not going back? In some ways it feels very strange…but in other ways I feel a great weight lifted from my shoulders and I am not working in a really hot, second story, non air conditioned classroom. Seriously I really am done teaching??
Last night I didn’t sleep well, this morning I didn’t feel that well…so today I did nothing, that was a surprise! The real shocker came this afternoon when I laid down and took a nap! I never take naps! Tonight I feel better. Wow, if this is what retirement is maybe I could get use to it. Tomorrow I am going shopping with my mother and my sister, then lunch out with them…another day of retirement. Wow, this is great…but ask me again September 7th the first day of school!
Next post..visiting Chicago!
