I had a number of topics I wanted to write about today. Instead, I took a nap -- a five-hour nap. I must be rehearsing for retirement.
The photograph above is to remind me that this will be what I see each day in my back yard: starting in less than four months.
But there will be steps to take before I get there. The first one comes early tomorrow morning -- I will stop by the agency that handles my retirement pay.
If I understand the procedure correctly, a counselor will walk me through the application procedure, I will get a briefing on some of my retirement options, and I will then write out a check that will boost my retirement pay a bit. When I leave, the wheels will be in motion to ensure that I will be retired on 31 March.
This coming week, I am going to start compiling the final list of things I need to do. As an example, I have not had a physical in years. I should do that. The old chassis may require a lube job before I give up my health insurance.
I will share some of my action items -- because some of you will have a very good ideas based on your own experience.
But not today. I am heading back to bed.
