Technically, I am on vacation until July 1st. I feel awkward calling it retirement. I will not get to stop working. The downside to staying at home to raise my kids is I did not spend years building up a retirement, nest egg, or anything else that means I can stop working. I am fine with that. If Coco's works, I do not think it will be like a boring job. There is a saying, if you find something you love to do, you will never work a day in your life. I will let you know if that is true.
Day 2 of my new adventure I have already learned a few things.
If I am not getting up at 4:30 or 5:30 am, I do not need an alarm. On my own I wake up around 6:30am. I am fine with that. I go to sleep at a reasonable time. I do not plan on getting in the habit of staying up late and sleeping late. When Coco's opens I should be able to sleep until 7:00.
Yoga feels good. Wish there were a few more chair classes a week. I need to baby step my way back into it.
There is this place people take their cars, put money in a machine, a super power vacuum sucks up the mess on the floor. Who knew? My car was disgusting. Just a little effort and it looks so much better. (I'm not going to lie, I believe husbands should clean and wax the cars. Old School, but still.)
I love seeing the kids more. I saw them quite a bit when I worked but most of it was shoved into the week-end. Now I can see them whenever I want.
People seem to be getting excited about Coco's. Hope I don't let them down.
Sunday is not such a negative day when I am not dreading going to work on Monday. I enjoy it so much more.
I do miss having so many adults to talk to during the day. Once Coco's is open that should not be a problem.
Tomorrow I go check out a candy store in Washington. The pictures look amazing. I know I will not be on that level at the start. The inventory is HUGE!
Still moving forward.
