There could be some doom and gloom It will be tough. But I've been planning for this for years. I bought an rv 20 years ago not just to travel. I thought about living in it when I retired and got something bigger than I needed or wanted at the time. Sorry PP, no bunk space but hopefully I'll be able to build an extension onto the rv in a year. When I got to Ruby I bought the solar system myself instead of asking the owners to pay for it because I wanted to take it with my when I retired. So electricity is free now. I looked for a inexpensive rural area when I took the job. Money will be tight with just my small SS payments but what I do for fun is free. I've been interested in edible wild plants since I was a child which broadened into an interest in botany, camping and hiking. My favorite hobby costs nothing.

I'm in a celebratory mood today because all the big jobs are done. I hooked up my solar system, the last big job and can relax and do the rest of the work as energy permits.

What she's saying is, "how many bunk beds you got?" Me, I'll take the one near the kitchen, keep that coffee supply going (good for fixing up rattlesnake as well...)

thanks for sharing that, ocean-kat, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear of someone in our age cohort looking forward to their future. It's been pretty much doom and gloom, troubles and frustrations in my circle, so a "keep hope alive" is very welcome. Congrats.

Congrats is definitely in

In reply to Congrats (I hope), good luck,

Congrats is definitely in order. While I'm so tired and my body is so sore from the move I'm so excited and happy to be done with working for other people for dollars. I've been looking forward to my 62nd birthday for years.

Congrats (I hope), good luck,

Surely this is evidence of racist sexualization of black women.

On a personal note, I've officially retired. Been spending the last few weeks moving from the ghost town I worked at to a beautiful 10 acre piece of land near by. Still a lot of work to do but I'm mostly settled in. A new phase of my life is about to begin.
