It's Official

I will turn 63 in October - "if I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd taken better care of myself" - whatever.

I have officially signed up for SOCIAL SECURITY - what a hoot - who'da thunk it. And starting in October, they (SSA) are going to send me money every month - what a concept! I am also meeting with my retirement specialist to complete all the paper work and THEY will start sending me money. This is so foreign to me - THEY are going to actually PAY me for doing NOTHING. This Retirement thing is sweet; now if I can just learn to live of 1/2 of my salary for the rest of my life - I'll have it made.

I heard from a friend who is also driving to Ajijic in September - we are going to try and match up our departure dates so we can caravan. I'm looking forward to getting on the road....I have already started plotting out the route and what I'm taking. One thing for sure - I'm loading up my MP3 player with books and NPR interviews I've missed. I love audio books - I've spent a fortune on Audible - but I have enjoyed every single book I've purchased.
