My last day is the day after my 60th. If I were to stay until the end of the year my monthly check would go down by $11 each month. Don't ask why it's so weird.<br /><br />I am NOT pleased to copy California in this way. Last year by this time this month we had had 8.5 inches of rain. This year, this month .4 inches.PKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-68443684527852774252016-11-21T19:25:25.295-05:002016-11-21T19:25:25.295-05:00I think it's going to be fine - I plan to guar...I think it's going to be fine - I plan to guard my time.

You probably already explained and I just missed it.<br /><br />Also, since when do you have fires and weather like CA? Seems we constantly have smoke and ash in the air. It's so sad. And scary. Our drought does nothing to help it. Although today it rained all day, so that was nice!<br /><br />I'm so happy you are retiring! I know you've been looking forward to this for a very long time! <br /><br />Love you!<br />gracegracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17341179673514109376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-1706419442806079362016-11-20T23:20:23.746-05:002016-11-20T23:20:23.746-05:00Hi, PK,

Only a few more weeks and you are able to retire, that will be so very relaxing for you. I thought staying home would be so boring, but it it's new every day. You can catch up on all the things you wanted to do, but didn't have time for. Happy to hear that your blood sugars are good, that can be very challenging. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving week and get some much needed rain!<br />--BakerBakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654399899358402634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-45980312934539060372016-11-20T21:41:00.831-05:002016-11-20T21:41:00.831-05:00I'm enjoying my days now!
