I’m posting this evening because I had to be at work at 7AM this morning for a meeting with a person who didn’t show up for the meeting. So I ran out of time this morning and thought I’d wait until tonight to write something. I’m taking off tomorrow and Monday for a mini mental health break. I am planning to visit the Social Security office to try to sort out what steps I have to take in order to take advantage of the Social Security I’ve been contributing to for all the years I’ve been working. I plan to work a few more years because I’d like to get the most from the system. So I thought I’d try to get my exit strategy begun. I must say, though, I like the discipline of having a 5 day a week job. It is just that at times, I feel stressed and would like to alleviate some of that. So it’s a bit of a catch 22 I’m afraid. I like my work income and if I stop working that goes away, not to mention my 401K, insurance and health club membership. I could try to go part time, but still would lose those benefits. Of course, I’m sure I haven’t saved enough money, but will I ever do that? It’s doubtful. But we’ll see if I get some help tomorrow – so log on again.
My brother Jon and his wife Ale are coming over from the East Coast to Naples for Ale’s birthday. Some of her children and her grand daughter will be with them and they are staying at The Waldorf Astoria (aka: Naples Grande, Registry Resort). I was working there when they got married a few years back when it was The Registry. My brother had to call me to find out what the name of the Hotel was because he couldn’t figure out how to make a reservation since it was the Registry when he was here. So we’re having dinner tomorrow night to celebrate her birthday. Somehow, I’ll try to find a gift for someone I don’t know much about (except by her facebook postings) and someone who has everything. We’ll see how that goes over.
I guess that’s about enough from me for now. See you again tomorrow!
