Perfect plan! That way you can truly enjoy those first days of retirement.

The pasta salad does sound delicious.

I came up with a genius idea to preserve my 1st week of retirement : we have 3 weeks left of classes so I am going to use a sick day June 6 (a Friday) and go to my parents house Friday and Saturday. We will probably still go for Fathers Day on the 15th, but that is different than "helping". This just feels so much better to me.

My district retirement event is next Thursday. DH and a few work friends who are also being recognized for 15 or 20 years in the district will join me. Then the following week, the retirement happy hour with mostly my department and a few other work friends.

The weather is slowly improving, some sun today and 66. I'm not working tomorrow!! My plan tomorrow morning is to get going early and get some bedding plants. A coolish weekend is probably best for planting.

Off to the fancy grocery store that has a sale on some delicious deli items like chicken cherry pasta salad. It's delectable.

I don't think we have No-See-Ums here. I looked it up and we are in the variable range. I'm pretty sure I have not ever been bitten. The bite sound annoying as all get out!

District Retirement Tea is this afternoon. I don't really want to go, but I'm obligated (especially since the district changed the date so I could attend because the elementary concert schedule conflicted with the original date). I think BFF and Ron will attend.

I did decide to stay home this weekend. I felt a whoosh of relief when I cancelled my hotel for the weekend.

1 more teaching day. YIKES!

Those no see ums are nasty! We used to get them in the other house here in Florida but they must not be able to fly up higher because we don't get them on the 3rd floor here.

So the no see ums have made their debut (they say around mother's day here). I am covered in bites I never saw happening! 3 on the top of my head, 2 on my neck, 5 on my calf and ankle. Little *******s! it must have happened in my sleep as the leg with the bites is the one I stick out of my sheets when I'm hot. Grr.

Today I'm having lunch with a friend. The bug guy has been and gone. I have some phone calls to make (schedule the hvac visit to get ready for summer) and when I get home I have a project on dd, to seal all the weird little gaps around pipes and the hvac in my utility room because I think that's where the majority of the bugs are getting in. I have steel wool and caulking and I had the bug guy spray in all the nooks and crannies.

That's my list for the day. Hope you all are well! Hooray for the retirement countdowns!

Whoops ... I meant that we'll be moving all our furniture in. Now we have only a queen bed, a desk and 5 chairs.

Italian night was enjoyable last night - good food and company.

Today is an at home day all day as the ho****er heater is being replaced. We are going to eat the last steak that was in the freezer. I think we have a couple of other things in there to throw out.

I will start housecleaning today since we have to be around anyway. Only 3 more nights before we fly north.

Time to get out for the early Justice walk. Hopefully there is a little breeze this morning. Have a thoughtful Thursday!
