COUNTDOWN FROM 5. Stolen from Kwizgiver, ca. 2011. She originally counted down from 10, but we are not that ambitious.
FIVE people who mean the world to you.
(I'll skip the obvious answer, Jesus, because he means more than the world to me, anyway.)
1. Husband
2. Daughter
3. Grandson
4. Granddaughter
5. And even though he has chosen to have nothing to do with us...my son will always be my son.
FOUR things you fear.
1. Snakes
2. Swimming in the ocean (Thanks, Jaws!)
3. Being old and alone
4. Being old and stuck in a nursing home
THREE words to describe how you feel right now.
1. Sick
2. Achy
3. Tired
TWO things you're excited about.
1. Making beaded items with my daughter and our first craft show coming up this month.
2. Actually having vacation days to use this year.
ONE thing you'd like to say to someone.
1. I'm retiring. Sadly, that is not to be for several years yet. I need my job for the insurance and also because at this point I have to work until I'm 67 to get my full Social Security benefits.
Blast off!

I"m so sorry to hear you are ill. Get better soon!
ReplyDeleteI retired early due to some spine issues but am choosing to wait until age 70 before getting the SS. Of course by then (5 y rs from now) who the heck knows what's gonna happen with this circus show in D.C?? ugh.
I also put snakes as something to fear!!
I hope you get to feeling better soon...and I wish I could say the same or I QUIT. LOLOL--Have a great day, please get to feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you and your friend Bev have been so sick. It's awful to feel trapped in a failing body and not know what to do. 💔 Both of you get well soon!
ReplyDeleteI feel concern over being in a Nursing Home as well. I've left explicit directions to NOT allow this to happen. Lord willing, I will find another path before Jesus calls me Home.
Blessings. 💖🍀
All I know about Bev is from her blog: https://funnytheworldcom.blogspot.com. Another blogger let Bud know she had quit "stealing" and Bud put out a notice, asking others to step up. No one volunteered so he pressed me into service. Guess it's my destiny to fill everyone's weekend with mirth! ;) I love that you and your daughter are working together on a project. The conversations as you do your beading are probably just as important as the crafts themselves.
ReplyDeleteI'll be retiring in a couple of years and I can't wait! It will be 30 years of teaching at this school. And with the current threats to education, it's the right time for me to be bow out gracefully.
ReplyDeleteI retired at 66 (bc I'm older than you) and I'nm SO happy about that! Sorry about the estrangement with your son.
