Gads, I woke up late this morning... almost 9:00 AM!!! That will teach me for staying up late reading the latest Harry Potter book! Rotfl! Shucks, I missed the dogs' playgroup this morning. :o(
After wandering out to the kitchen, giving the dogs their suppliments and treats, I saw that my hubby had made coffee for me before he left for work... but it was now luke-warm. So I popped my mug in the microwave, grabbed some breakfast, and headed to the computer for the morning. Looking outside, I see that it's become cloudy and windy like a storm may be blowing in. It would be the first of the season for us. I should go pick some pears off our tree before it rains today!
Today, I have an appointment in Eureka with the Humboldt County Office of Education to discuss collecting my retirement. It will be nice to have that money coming in! I wish I could've taught 2 more years though... my retirement checks would've been larger, but with health issues and the long distance I was driving, I just couldn't deal with it anymore! The best that I can do now is to collect my retirement and do some subbing! That alone will bring in half of what my take-home pay checks used to be, and we can live with that nicely! My hubby will retire in 6 more years, but he loves his job being a high school Art teacher.
I've been visiting new journals/blogs, and here is a little something I picked up on my visits:

Thanks Annette! I'm off now to vote for my friends!
