It's difficult juggling books that will expire in 3 weeks. I just get back on the wait list -- if I have to give them back without getting to them. sigh. thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-63543687561494306472017-03-17T07:19:52.731-07:002017-03-17T07:19:52.731-07:00So sorry about your dog.

Also, I download my audiobooks to itunes and put them on my phone. Just a thought. And finally, I'm retiring in May of '18. It is a hard decision, and one I didn't think I wanted to make. Until I made it. Now I'm excited... (the new house and grandkid helped that too!) Good luck with your decision.Annette Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850197520930988077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-86992223669825908482017-03-17T07:13:47.343-07:002017-03-17T07:13:47.343-07:00This post has lots going on!

Retirement? That's an exciting and scary decision to make so I wish you luck with the final decision.

A couple of things made the decision for me: a boost in the benefits that came from a lawsuit; and a case that became extremely troubling, and which I was glad to put behind me. <br /><br />I have never regretted leaving that 27-year career, although I did work for a private company soon after retirement, for an additional three years.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog...and the beach wedding is in California, in Cayucos.Laurel-Rain Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.com
