    In all honesty, nothing at this point! My last "physical" day of work is my birthday (that is my birthday present to myself - LOL). I will then be using my last days of vacation to take me to my first day of retirement - April 1st. Maybe I need to think of something foolish to do - ROFLOL. I'm open to suggestions!

    Congratulations!! I retired Jan. 3 and every day has felt like a Saturday ever since. My first treat for myself was to get a pedicure; a gift for my poor tired feet.

    Catch up on some sleep. Don't set an alarm in the morning. You still might wake up your usual time, in a panic that you might be late. I did for the first few weeks. Enjoy eating at a slower pace. Go see a movie in the afternoon. Enjoy!!

    LOL. Actually, I'm looking forward to getting up just a little bit earlier in the morning! I work 2nd shift, so I don't get into bed until almost midnight. My treat will be hitting the sheets at about 9:30 or 10 and getting up at about 6 or 6:30! I'm looking forward to becoming a first class "morning person" again. LOL

    Maybe a road trip to look at houses?

    My sister had researched and drawn up a list of local thrift stores that were new to us, and she took me on a thrifting expedition on my first day of retirement. Do something fun!

    Already doing this and, while I'm still hopeful, it's a bit frustrating right now. Not giving up, though!
