Moving On

[borgmama1of5]

So at 1:24 pm today I walked out of work never to return--officially retired!!!

I've been the Caregiver Manager at a home care agency in Chicago for 12 1/2 years (I started in September 2009, the same month I started watching Supernatural as it aired live for season 5.)
For the first 11 years I loved my job and the people I worked with. Then in

How exciting! Congrats on retiring, hitting a con, AND graduating to full-time gramma status!

[borgmama1of5]

Thank you! The con was lovely after waiting 3 years for more Jensen and Jared hugs!

I did that same as Kalliel, thought for a moment you were moving away from fandom - very glad to see it's 'just' work! Sounds like a perfect moment to retire. Having done it myself I can highly recommend it!

Nope, hanging on to SPN forever!

First 10 days of retirement have been lovely--I woke up the first Monday after and started thinking about which clients needed caregivers this week and then stopped and thought 'Not my problem!' and went back to sleep!

Life soon fills up with other things and that kind of worry will be a distant memory - I love it!

Congrats on the retirement!

Hey, I know somebody pretty close to Winston. :) If you have questions about the area or anything, of course.

[borgmama1of5]

Thanks, and if I end up with Winston questions I'll give you a holler!

Congratulations on your retirement. You lucky duck. I can only dream for retirement. Enjoy all your newly available free time.

[borgmama1of5]

Thank you. I wish everyone could have retirement's freedom!

I'm doing some LJ catch-up today, so I'm a little late in saying this, but: Congratulations!!!! It sounds like you have a lovely farewell at your workplace, and now you get to enjoy some freedom! :D I hope the convention was fun and that you're having a wonderful time in Germany! I'd love to hear how the Supernatural rewatch goes, especially if you do manage to fit in so many episodes in so short a time. So much Supernatural at once! What an overwhelm of goodness!!

Just got back from Germany and am getting around to checking my comments--thank you for the good wishes! Germany was so much fun! Now I am discovering how different it feels to get up in the morning and only have to report to myself!
