There are only two weeks to go before I will start working four days a week. I have mixed emotions about this plan. I think it is a good way to transition into retirement, but I need a plan for this plan. I just can't hang around every Monday like it's a vacation day, can I? I'll need to do something, but I don't want to just work either. If I'm going to work, I might as well go to work and get paid. No one will pay me to work around the house. The whole point, of course, is that I don't want to work any more. If you count summer jobs, I've worked about 50 years. I think you ought to be able to stop at some point if you want to. But will I need money? Will I be able to continue to live in New Jersey? It's a puzzlement.

The Great American Shelving Adventure (Part 4)
Everyone now seems to have a blog and when I read them, I feel compelled to leave a comment, or at least think about leaving a comment and that takes a lot of time. I hardly have time to add to my own blog. Besides, with the great shelving adventure, I have to actually do something with the shelving before I can add anything onto my blog about it, which takes more time. Anyway, I now have a coat of stain on both sides of Harry's desk. I filled in a rough spot on the back edge and went over the whole top with OO steel wool (OO is very fine). Now I have to decide if I want to add another layer of stain. It looks pretty good the way it is, but it may not be quite deep enough in color. I'll have to see how I feel about it tomorrow.

I think you can treat Mondays like a vacation day - at least at first. And since you never sit around and do nothing, I don't think you'll have trouble things to keep you occupied.
Boy, I really think it's a good thing you're transitioning into this. Maybe everyone should say a little prayer for me!
Yeah, I think you are going to need plenty of prayers. Maybe we will need shelves in our new place once we get one. That way he can work the weekend at the Poconos and be tired on Monday.
