Default My retirement...

Was planning for a long time and figuring out what I wanted to do. Got a reliable truck and car and bike. Starting to do overtime to get a little in the bank. Doing good then got hit by cancer with about 2 years to go. Got through that and went back to work for almost 2 years. Time to make the jump out. I left without looking back. Now been retired little over a year and never felt better knowing I will never have to go back there to those horriable people again. Since the first day I have been getting treatments and CT's and MRI's. That's going good. Still able to do my outside stuff. The thing I hate the most is I gotta get rid of my bike. Can't ride anymore. The surgery messed me up. Friend of mine is going to buy it. I like that idea cause I still have access to it. Maybe zip down the road every now and then with it.

I have a lot to do in the house. When I get something done that makes me feel good. Maybe I haven't lost that much that I can still get my stuff built and fixed. I make my day what I want it to be and not on anyone elses schedule.

Told my Dr. a few days before he retired not to wear his watch anymore. He said he wears a different one in the barn. I said not to wear that one either. Then said to him there is only 2 times a day you need to know what time it is and that is supper time and bedtime and you don't need a watch for that. He smiled.

Thank you for reading
