Congratulations , Now repeat after me .
I do not have to use an alarm clock
Mornings are overrated
If I eat breakfast real late think of the calories I save by missing lunch
No deadlines means no deadlines clean the closet whenever
Pantyhose are of no use to me
I'm free , I'm finally free

Absolutely, CONGRATS!
But may I suggest that retirement deserves far better beer than Miller!
Life is far too short to drink cheap beer.

I also had lots of costume jewelry and scarves and gloves that had been given to me as gifts and were still in boxes. I felt so good taking all these things to the Y, and I made a dent in my cluttered life. The ladies at the store told me they were particularly in need of scrubs, so I passed this info along to nurse friends of mine. It seems a lot of new hires are getting jobs as home health aides.

Don't be too sure.
If mega-corp wants you back, they may get you. It's kinda like being abducted by aliens. Money talks.
It may be you need a tinfoil hat, not to listen.
Don't listen.
