This is apparently a gene I inherited from my maternal grandmother, whom I've been told used to say, "Wait! I'm going to fall down! Medicine, Medicare and Mayhem. Your copay is over $1,000!

It's A Retirement Life: April 2013
http://aretirementlife.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
It's A Retirement Life. Thoughts and musings on a retirement life by Susan Petersen. Tuesday, April 9, 2013. A Time for Reinventing Oneself. I'm now in my third month of retirement and gradually adjusting to the differences in day-to-day life. While I was still working, I assumed that I would still get up at 5 am every morning. Ha! I now totally resent any morning appointments that require the setting of the alarm clock! I never thought of it that way at all. But the farther removed I get from the pe...

It's A Retirement Life. Thoughts and musings on a retirement life by Susan Petersen. Saturday, February 9, 2013. On Weekday Shopping, Senior Discount and Dodge Em Cars. The first full week of my retirement life is now behind me. One thing I've learned is that the days slip by so much faster than when I was working! Monday was my first weekday grocery shopping experience as a retiree. My goodness, I got a parking space right by the entrance. THAT never happens! Sadly, the sacker still put leaf lettuce and...

It's A Retirement Life: January 2013

It's A Retirement Life. Thoughts and musings on a retirement life by Susan Petersen. Saturday, January 26, 2013. An Empty Desk and Being Blessed. The final week of my work life has arrived. There are only four work days left and I will be working offsite through Wednesday, with my last day of work on Thursday. That means that I had the arduous task of emptying my desk and packing up my personal belongings to bring home. There was the Howie Mandel "mask" we used at a training workshop where one of our lea...

It's A Retirement Life: Wintertime Retirement
http://aretirementlife.blogspot.com/2013/03/wintertime-retirement.html
It's A Retirement Life. Thoughts and musings on a retirement life by Susan Petersen. Monday, March 11, 2013. For many years, I couldn't figure out why so many people in my workplace chose to select December or January as their retirement dates. There were definitely some tax considerations involved, but I thought "why would anyone want to retire in the winter! March 11, 2013 at 11:43 AM. March 11, 2013 at 11:47 AM. I love your comment, Celia! March 11, 2013 at 2:35 PM. March 12, 2013 at 4:55 PM. One of m...

It's A Retirement Life: About
http://aretirementlife.blogspot.com/p/about.html
It's A Retirement Life. Thoughts and musings on a retirement life by Susan Petersen. I was in the work force for 42 and a half years, the last 40 spent in government service. For so long, retirement seemed like a far-off dream, but now it is reality. One thing that I've learned as an aging baby boomer is that many things are not as easy as they were in my twenties. On the other hand, there's not as much stress involved, either. We old hippies have earned our right to do things our way! Im now in my third...

It's A Retirement Life: Taking Time for Guilt Free Reading
http://aretirementlife.blogspot.com/2013/02/taking-time-for-guilt-free-reading.html
It's A Retirement Life. Thoughts and musings on a retirement life by Susan Petersen. Saturday, February 16, 2013. Taking Time for Guilt Free Reading. Before I retired, I told myself that my first two weeks of retirement life would be low-key, guilt-free time just to get used to not getting up and going to a job every day. Those two weeks have passed very quickly and I've kept my commitment to myself. One thing that's nice about e-books - they don't take up the space that hard cover books do! Since my fir...
