Hi, Ami,

I'm looking forward to the month passing.  I'm sorry to sound so dismal but I'm in grad school and I'm not a person who likes school.

I'm looking forward to learning to drive. My sister is teaching me. She's been driving for 50 years and having problems with her sight. So at 70 I'm our only hope at this point! Our kids and grandkids are on the other side of the coast.

Also hopefully to write ✍️ more for the site I'm on.

Have a blessed week 🌸 y'all!

Starting with my new therapist. I had the consultation last Friday where she accepted me as a new patient. My nerves were gone leading up to that meeting. First session will be this Friday (9/5/25).

@courageouspanda2006

I can understand that you feel nervous, it's a new therapist and one needs time to get to know each other. It's great though that they took you, especially in times where many people are looking for therapists. I wish you a good session on Friday!

Thank you. My nerves are already getting fired up. Hopefully she doesn't ask me to turn on my camera just yet. Well, uncover my camera. I love post-it notes. 😁

The 26th, this is what I have on my calendar as D-DAY. This is the day I send in my notice of retirement. 79 more working days until I walk out the door for the last time. 😁

As the day approaches, there are some days that my anxiety and worries kick into overdrive. I'm afraid that I will end up being more alone than I am when I'm at work.

It's completely normal in my opinion to look forward to retirement but also to have some doubts about it. Have you thought about things you always wanted to do but never had the time for? Volunteering somewhere can give meaning in life and also keep you connected to others. Here is a link to a post about retirement which might give you some ideas

@aimablePeace77

I know the one thing on my list is to finally complete my project car. I have been working on a late 1950's Chevrolet for the past 17 years and am at about 75% complete. There have been years here and there that life has gotten in the way.

It is hard when our daughter (44) has Downs Syndrome and living at home. Her health unfortunately has been declining over the past year.

My wife has me booked doing handyman stuff for some of her friends, most in their 70's and a few in their 80's. I don't mind as like tinkering and using tools.

We are fortunate to own our home outright, so only monthly bills are upon us and groceries.

Thanks for that link, I have quickly browsed through it but when I have some time I'll take another look and post up as well.

Wow, that's quite an undertaking and I hope you soon will have more time to spend on your project car! 

Sorry to hear that your daughter suffers from Down syndrome. It must be hard for you and your wife to see her health declining.

Thanks, one day I will hear the engine of my car roar again.

it has been tough with our daughter as of late, the biggest worry of ours. She has a deteriorated heart valve that, unfortunately is now beyond a simple repair and will one day need to be replaced. Either with a artificial valve or a donor valve, either has its own complications
