Another Day Another Dollar

Yesterday, as usual started off much the same as all other work days on this shift. The rooster started crowing at 5:00 and I was not ready for this to happen...I must have more sleep! Why is it the closer you get to the retirement age the "I don't care about this job" feeling becomes more prevalent. I do believe the middle shift I was on works better for me at this time in my life than a day shift work schedule.

OK nuff said on that...I spent most the day trying to get all my reports up to date...everything that I would normally do in the next two weeks I need to get done this week so I can take off for the rally. I hate this too...you kill yourself getting everything ready to take off and by the time you do your worn out. I hope that when I do retire I will learn how to plan in slow motion. I hope that nothing is soooo important that I have to kill myself getting ready to go from one place to the next. If you have a comment on that I would love to hear it. I am sure I will learn.

When I got home I did the laundry and cleaned the RV the best I could. I knew the whole time I was cleaning that I was not doing it correctly. Sherri has taught me that if nothing else...I don't do anything right when it comes to what she does. So I just do the best I can and then let her point out all my short comings...this is life as a husband...I love it.

After my chores were done I sat down and planned out my first stop over on the way to Branson. I found a State Park about half way there on Lake Eufala...Arrowhead State Park. It has full hook ups and seems to be big rig friendly. We are only staying one night so it should be fine for that. We will leave from there Monday morning for Branson which should be another 41/2 hours. I hope to pull in up there about 1:00 or so.

When we get there I have some things to get straightened up and I am sure that Sherri will want to clean the RV inside and out. I have no idea where we will be located there but no matter I will be scanning the area for all the Dreamers...I can't wait to meet everyone Somewhere in Time.

I will let Jim comment on your laundry and housekeeping outlook, he has some things to tell you about that. As far as killing yourself getting things done so you can go on vacation.... retirement will take care of that! Everything will slow down, but it takes practice. Practice, practice, practice.

See you soon....

Let me put it this way, if I ever find a man that knows how to do housework I am goinig to keep him. ofar - no luck. Yes, I am so looking forward to going to Branson - so much I am calling in sick tomorrow. I won't be back for 2 wks so maybe they won't notice I am gone. Looking forward to seeing you guys and everyone else in Branson.

That wo*king takes up too much time, Speedy. But when you retire you will wonder how you ever had the time to go out to wo*k !
Maybe you can retire early, and get on the road. Happy Trails, and have a safe trip to the rally.
