OK, I've been planning and thinking about ER for a very long time now. I've run the numbers and they all add up. I gave my 6-months' notice in October, and I'll be gone May 1. I've been training my replacements and documenting my tasks and doing all the things I need to do to make sure the office doesn't fall apart the day I leave. (OK, they will probably do fine without me, but I feel responsible...) I've had the discussions with DH, and we both agree that the time is right, and we're well prepared.
Yet when HR called me the other day to talk about how to handle the vacation and what I need to do to plan for my departure, I got this big knot in my stomach, and had a bit of a panic attack! What am I doing Is this the right thing What will I do? It all seems so final!! What if it doesn't work out? Gas prices are going up, electricity prices are going waaaay up! Oh, no!!
So I came in here so you could all reassure me. Has this happened to you?? I did see that "Retire Soon" talked about signing papers and that it was an agonizing decision. So I'm guessing I'm not the only one with pre-RE jitters. Please! Make me feel better!!
Thanks, I'm starting to feel better already.
