I know I feel anchored in my AF'ness, hope the rest of you do as well.
Star, when my son entered his last year of college I knew that my need to earn a certain amount of money would ease up quite a bit. That's when I decided to hang up my scrubs & spend the next ? years doing something that I liked, something pleasant & not necessarily full time. I opened my embroidery biz & that kept me afloat for quite a while. I have slowly put the biz on the back burner the past few years but that was largely my choice. At this point I am not real concerned about becoming insignificant & don't think it's in my nature to be useless, haha. I always seem to be able to find something to do, that's for sure. As far as money goes, I can turn on my SS any time now but haven't yet. I think you need a little more time to really see the whole picture then make a decision about the future. As long as the bills are paid & all that, don't rush yourself.
My DIL has made it perfectly clear that she does not want to talk to us. We are not to know anything about her apparently.
I watched her FIRE 2 babysitters over the last 2 or 3 years for no good reason. Then she fired us last September. Outrageous mood swings, lethargy & irritability are part of her bipolar symptoms & hard to live with in my opinion. My grandsons need a functioning mother, not the blob she is these days who chooses to be on the west coast doing something else. I'll shut up now
I decided to thin out my chicken flock today & handed over 18 hens to our Amish friend. I'm in the mood for less work outside this fall, ha ha!! The 6 babies are starting to lay mini eggs, they'll be up to full speed soon & I kept 3 of the older layers so the new total will be 9 for now.
Hello to Cyn & Pauly. Hope to see you both real soon.
Have a nice night everyone!
