And am amazed what you are considering. The outcome of the surgery looks good--you are so open it surprises and amazes me. Really you have educated any of us who didn't know and I am due for a mammogram again in March...may we all be as brave.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451988954537329260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-9485279764609670332014-01-31T13:35:07.308-05:002014-01-31T13:35:07.308-05:00ren - Thank you for the update!

As to retirement….If I could, I would retire now, but I am one of those who will never retire (can’t financially). Finding things to do is not a problem if you enjoy volunteering. I always have 2 or 3 different gigs going on even as I work full time. Your heart will give you the answers you seek.

(Thank you ren for the update). <br /><br />As for to retire / not to retire -- I like the ebbing idea. Decrease hours and responsibilities as is sensible to do. Use the time not working sinking your fingers into the things you are already doing, volunteer wise. <br /><br />And yes, 37 cats is too many. 36 howeverMiddle Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12334580430376973159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-22591852261720798722014-01-30T16:45:33.407-05:002014-01-30T16:45:33.407-05:00Update on 8thday"s surgery - her recovery pe...Update on 8thday"s surgery - her recovery period was very hard but the surgery itself went well. She is now home, in moderate pain, but has fallen asleep and is resting comfortably. I'm sure she will update everyone here when she is able. <br /><br />As one of her closest real life friends, I can't thank you enough for all the support you have been to her.

At least for a few months. That way, I could see what I thought. <br /><br />Otherwise, if I were going to be social, I'd look in to things I was interested in on MeetUp.
