So what has happened since then? I FINALLY applied for disability and got it. If you are in the situation where you need it for medical reasons, don't be afraid. It is definitely a pain to do but it all worked out. And has made my life much easier.
I am completely enjoying retirement! I have absolutely no regrets about doing that. You have a new life when you retire - on to other new things. Or maybe the time to spend on all the things you couldn't find time for before.
One thing I have been doing is stitching. This is my latest project. TOO CUTE! I ordered overdyed floss from the House of Stitches in Laporte. (My absolute favorite cross stitch store!) It is working up really nicely. Hope you have found fun things to do!
