My full retirement date will be 1/31/14. I gave notice to my 20 hour/week job in November, but negotiated working Dec. and Jan. at just 8 hours/week for transition purposes. Such a relief to be so close.
Not such happy news, my DH and I went to Kauai to celebrate and I broke my ankle on one of their slippery, muddy hiking trails. A big bummer! So I had to fly home to have surgery and now am completely bedridden. Will hopefully be cleared to start putting some weight on the leg by the time retirement day comes! Not the auspicious beginning of ER I was hoping for!
Oh that is too bad about the ankle! We have been to Kauai a few times so I know what you are talking about. The trails are super slippery especially after the rains and it rains a lot. Not to sound morbid but people have literally died by slipping off the trails and falling over cliffs. Some of those trails are very dangerous!
I hope you have full and complete healing soon!
