About Me

I'm a happily single mother of two daughters and a youthful grandmother to five granddaughters and one grandson. I have been employed in healthcare more than half my life and have enjoyed every moment. Retirement has been a goal since I was forty and now I am still not really ready to hand over the scalpel. Like so many before me I want to go one more round before the bell. Still working but not as much and definitely not as hard. My license will expire in 2010-2011 and I am not sure if I want to renew. I'll think about that tomorrow. There are a few things I am going to do. One is to sign up for dance lessons. The other is tor review my bucket list

Interests:

I love to travel . Want to take a train trip across the Rockies in the Spring. Sleeper car all the way Sewing, Reading, Learning new things, experiencing new adventures Now I have time to volunteer

CHOICES

Rain again. It looks as if Ida has come for a visit, sure hope it is a short one. This is a good day to kick back and not do much of anything. Talk with friends and spend time on the computer. I have been giving a lot of thought about working. It's strange that when it is time to work less, I miss it the most. I guess it has something to do with the fact that I have been working so long and actually love what I do. I miss the camaraderie and the challenges of the job. And to think I stumbled upon this career choice by accident. I never thought I would end up as an operating room nurse, but the television version was very exciting. Hanging out at the desk and wearing scrubs, drinking coffee and having fun. This is not exactly what I walked into. There were hours upon hours of working, standing, stretching,short lunches, long hours, and lots of required overtime. Monday through Friday with occasional saturday and sunday. WOW!!!! and to think I want to return to that, you bet I do. I still have a lot to offer.

Gotta go now but I'll be back

William, thank you for those kind words. I do enjoy what I do. I realize now that it is something I have been doing more than half my life. I have had the opportunity to work with some pretty amazing people. I have learned and shared much with those individuals. What is the next phase, I am not sure yet. But I do want to hear more about your new profession. You aren't joining the wrestling circuit are you???? or are you preparing to take on the task of becoming a stock car racer/// sound interesting though. How long have you been retired. are you tired of retirement (joke)
Hope to hear from you soon
Mary
