How do you want to retire?
My mom always said, “It’s a work a day life honey.” I am still in the trenches of my work a day life here so it’s hard to imagine. I will say Sunday nights and getting up between 0330-0400 are getting harder and harder though.
I hope to be healthy when I retire. I hope to be able to watch my children raise their families. I hope to travel; Europe, Alaskan Cruise. I will read. I will be able to exercise every day instead of a few days a week. I will find a biblical study course and a craft to get into. I will do all the things I don’t have time to do now.
I will sip my coffee on a snowy morning at home and thank Jesus I don’t have to drive in it to go take care of patients anymore.

Do you have a daily 8 hour schedule or a 12-hour some days a week? Do you have an end date in sight?

I usually work 3 8’s and 1 12 in a week. I’m 12 years away from retirement. How about you?

I am trying to take a regular day off during the week but haven’t gotten there yet! I’m thinking another couple of years but it could be earlier in the event that everything in the office is running comfortably without me there regularly!
