Strangely I have not posted for a while, yet no so strange considering.

My retirement is coming closer, yet I don't know how I am going to handle it.

Maybe the fact that I am taking the initiative to actually stop and get my act together?

Maybe the example from my DH - and the fact he is not holding up well physically and mentally is scaring me.

So do I really need to retire and coop up here at home, or just find a cause to get behind?

My muse woke up and I did several art clocks, with my room a mess.

That didn't hurt my work at all...

And I was invited to show my clocks in August at the Collections Show .. happy dance.

ha ha ha I just need to stay organized as possible to keep everything in sight and at hand!

Speaking of hands:

I had an appointment with a hand surgeon that works miracles, and had to cancel it because I didn't have all the information I needed, AND my boss had a conflicting doctor appt that left the office unmanned for the entire morning.  I chose to come to the office instead and try to get some of the records I needed to take with me to the surgeon.

Doctor appointment conflicts are not normal, yet as I near leaving I have to get these appointments lined up-
