Looking ahead

What a weekend.  We had to call the plumber back on Sunday because when we ran the washer it all backed up again.  Fortunately we weren't charged anything additional and I believe the problem is now resolved.

I am so excited to have my surgery and to get my life back.  I am excited for retirement but afraid to look too far ahead for fear I will jinx us.  I haven't looked further than 3 months ahead for the past 5 years but right now I'm looking ahead 15 months.  That's how much time I have left to retire.  

I want to be able to spend time with my husband.  I want to take a trip.  I want to go to the Y and focus on my health and physical fitness.  I just want to have a little time to myself.   I want one road trip with my husband.......  The only trip we have had is when we went to Richmond, Virginia 3 years ago to watch his grandson play lacrosse.  

Our goal is to take a road trip and see his daughter in N. Carolina and then drive up the coast to Maine.  Ron and I both want to go there.  I also want to go to Boston with Ron.  He's never been there and I know he would love it with all its history.

We will be celebrating our 3rd anniversary on Wednesday.  I am grateful for every day we have had so far.  I am looking forward to many more.

But what I look forward to also is for Monday to just be another day in the week.
