My Retirement Plans

So what are my plans when I retire?   Alright... here goes my reasons...

It all starts with MY..... 

Sleeping pattern.... NO more jerking up at the sound of my shrieking alarm!
Annual leave.... NO more "begging" people to do my job when I am on leave...
Work.... NO more stress and heart beating fast when the work load is heavy....
Strain.... NO more straining of my poor eyes cos my work involves the computer almost the whole day long....

Well, the above have "pushed" me to go for early retirement... strong reasons or not, I think I have made the right decision...

Now come to think of it, when I retire, I might end up doing these....
Take a stroll drive whenever I feel like it...
Go places with my Old Faithful Babe... 
(that's my car!)
 Have an unhealthy breakfast if I feel like it.... 
Or a healthy one when the fish mode arises....
 
And on days when I cannot afford a nice meal, 
I will cook my own porridge...
Take my furry member for a walk whenever I feel "heavy".... 
(illustration picture only)
WHAT I REALLY DREAD IS THIS PILE OF MESS!!
Cleaning up house is really not my cup of tea... sigh...
 No, I am not a grandmother yet....
My retiring has nothing to do with babysitting..
(Thanks Lynn.. for "lending" me your baby)
  
Definitely "dogsitting"is more like it... 
 So much for retiring!  
LOL...

    I strongly support your above given reasons. Soon you will be like a bird release from the cage. For government servant, I think it takes 3-6 months to process if I am not wrong. Happy Retirement!!!!

    I am SO glad for you Claire. Raising your children to be the wonderful adults they are, while working all the time, this cannot have been easy. Now you will be able to go on more trips and adventures which WE, your loyal followers, will benefit from! Forget cleaning the house at least for this week, and sleep as long as you want in the mornings!

    What ever you do, just try to enjoy it before health problems arise. LOL I'm with you about house cleaning. I hate it, but at 77 there's a lot of things I hate, laundry, sweeping and dusting, grocery shopping, preparing meals, I just want to sit at my computer or play games on my iPad. Or go visit my Mother and eat lunch out. Happy retirement.

    Saw your updates at home last night, but didn't have time to click, bz with Kz and housework and all, so can't wait to read this post when I've reached the office.. Yes to points #2 & 3.. I so feel you.. Same here.. Not so of #1 coz with a baby and a toddler around, I never had peaceful sleeps for a long long time.. Happy retirement and happy cleaning (your house), haha..
    Psssttt, not considering babysitting? I'm thinking of babysitting (older kids, not newborns) if I decide to stop work one day.

      Oh, babysitting is very committed one.. unless one is still young, then can consider babysitting and at the same time taking care of our own kids. At my age, the kids will outrun me and that would be more tedious than working in office... hahaha...

    For me my early retirement will never come into my mind,
    Hard to live without income right? early retired also need to generate income mar..Unless I have my own business to take care of, then that is another different story.

    Sounds like a good plan there, Claire.

    Definitely a big no to babysitting. Your time is almost locked by the baby.Hahah but of course the experience of raising the baby is awesome especially witnessing my mom doing that for so many years. The best is the kid will come back to visit you after many years. I guess there is a special bonding.

    We have opposite ideas. I pray often that I could work until I die! I cannot retire and sit at home idle as I might go nuts.
