Put in Notice Monday that will be done for the foreseeable future as of 10/31, so now down to that two week mark. Has become trying as to managing extended family needs and our own needs while working as a Thirty or Forty or even Fifty year old I will NOT EVER manage to be again. Body is telling me STOP NOW.
Will have Doc Visits as of first week NOV, Tu, Wed and Fr, then a run to SE MO to visit Neice and her family, Nephew and his there, possibly work on assistance with farm as needed. Have a scheduled trip to Big D TX to visit other Nephew and his tribe there not too much later after the first visits. We have combined Xmas and Turkey Day scheduled HERE in Dec.
Already scheduling trips with the Big Blue Monster and camper for the Wife as to vacations, do want to visit Cousins in UT and ID, see S UT then New MX/and AZ early then up into the Central Northern states later in year.

When I retired, I quickly realized my old boss was much easier to work for, than my "new boss".
Good luck!

Thanks all, new boss and I been together 40 years, 40th anniv is next June as ‘Lived in Sin’ for just at a year.
Reflected as could have been out for over twenty, as to that old joke to her, got that not funny look.
Have been witness to those that stayed working far too long, “going to do all these fun things later” then end up in a hospital bed languishing to death. Still have some decent years left and will now work to enjoy them.

And it is as of today!! Awakened to finish laundering my work clothes, then packed the Hi-Vis into storage in the basement, likely to be disposed of thru discount service.
