The alarm went off at 5:30 am and it took all I could muster up to pull myself out of the bed. Oh I was so sore...my leg is still swollen and it takes me some time to get to moving again in the morning.
Sherri did not flinch when the alarm went off and I checked her pulse to see if she was still with me. She did have a pulse, however faint. I sighed with relief knowing that she would be able to make us some extra diesel money before I retired. How cold Speedy! I hear you all out there moaning and saying all manner of things about me...I can take it. Hey this is our plan....and as our plans go we have things come up now and again that dash them into pieces, and her passing could be one of those dashing moments. You know you never can be to sure of yourself.
Not to worry Sherri is alive and well and after I got out of the shower she was up and sipping her coffee.
Is this only Tuesday! GEEEE this week is going to be a slow one for sure. Sherri starts her job in the morning and I will be all alone...WHOAAAA is me. I will have to get my stuff together and go off to work without that morning snarl from my true love and life partner. It will not be the same until we both rid ourselves of these J O B s! Eight more months...I think I will start a count down calendar like Dee and Jim have.
OK Coffee made lunch packed...phone wallet keys located...Houston we have lift off the Speedster is in the truck and headed for the office and all manner of torment to look forward to upon arrival.
The day at the office went as usual...Mr Pitman this Mr Pitman that AUGH!!!! please release me let me go. Phone calls...press checks...reports...meetings...He said she said reports from disgruntled employees! OK I am ready...is it time to retire yet??? I have this reoccurring nightmare and I find out that I am awake while I am having it. I long to be in my boat on a slow moving river fishing for catfish and planning my next nap.
I know I have a while before I retire so I am posting some pictures of a happier time in my life. These are some pictures of our world wind trip with Moppah and Mark and Becky and Rodney a few years back.
It started out at Monmouth Cave Kentucky Can you tell we were tired?
Next stop was Mackinaw Island Michagan...Mark and Dortha on the Ferry
View of the Grand Hotel from the ferry boat going over 
No motorized vehicals are allowed on the island just bikes and hoarse drawn carriages
This is the side view of the Grand Hotel..Somewhere in TimeOK I am making myself sick. I have to go to the Birthday Party/Anniversary on the chat tonight and try to be witty. It is getting harder every day to be witty and happy. Things will change
Somewhere in Time.

Hang in there speedy!! It will go faster then you think. At least you're already in the RV and loving it. We all love you from the chatroom.

I think you are already retired and all of this is just a formality...Hang in there Mr. & Mrs. Speedy and your time will come very soon....We can't wait to spend some time with you guys without the job waiting...Take care and pace yourselves....Jim & Ellie
Speedy,
Looks like we are in the same boat so to speak. Pam and I have 10-13 months before we pull the plug. Depends on if we want to sell the house and move into temp quarters for a couple of months. I am trying not to count the months...seems like the days go by pretty quickly. Enjoyed my first read of your blog and will be looking for regular updates.
Hang in there Speedy. It IS going to happen!!
Debbie
I have a countdown timer in the upper right corner of my PC screen at work. It currently shows 265 days, 4 hours & 49 minutes. Just about a month after you.
