Friday was my last day of work. Technically it was a normal weekend, now it’s Monday, the first working day I am not working, my first day of retirement!

Cheers! (That’s not booze)

I finished this book just now. A tragedy of alcoholism, abuse, lives wasted, and poverty. Very powerful reading. The fact that people actually live like this is something that needed to be put into print, and their story told.

PA: I think the book is more about Shuggy’s Mom than Shuggy.

today’s my last day at work. Over 13 and a half years at the airport. Technically my contract expires at the end of the day on the 11th of july, that is a weekend so today’s my last work day. I’m leaving my badge and keys at work today, and bringing all my stuff home. I brought my tools home yesterday.

it’s the end of an era.

The opening of a new chapter in my life!

Have a good weekend!

I have ants again, in the bathroom. But this time they’re not going away. I put out Terro and they disappear for a couple weeks, then come back. Weird thing is, I can’t find any ant trail to find where they’re coming from…Maybe they’re Atomic Ants.

When I get my loose tiles replaced, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s ant nests under there.

Have a happy Thursday !

Yesterday I was having technical difficulty, trying to upload a photo album versus a single image.. Today I’m trying again on a different device.

Success! These photos are from the ex USS Kittiwake and a nearby spot called Chain Reef.

Three working days to go!

Thisnisnmy last week of work! Friday is my last day.

I had a good weekend, diving,. pickleball yoga food and friends.

Have a great week!

last night I played pickleball for the first time since my eye surgery. Her vision in my right eye, the one that had the surgery is not that great. I was wondering how I would do a pickleball. I think I did okay, for not having any practice.

This is my last week of work Today is a holiday here, I’m going to scuba diving.

This is my last week of work

Baby pineapple, sun ripened, I grew in my yard.

I’ve made a decision to apply gratitude as much as possible in my life. As you may know, I’m a world-famous insomniac. My brain tortures me in my sleep with negativity. I’ve made a decision to counteract my negativity with gratitude. This decision slowly is permeating and do my sleep. I noticed now that in my nocturnal negativity I’m sometimes able to remember to apply the stratitude,.

Sometimes, trying to control my thoughts while asleep is kind of like shooting pool using a rope as a cue. But with the effort it is slowly taking effect.

Next Friday is my last working day. Today is the end of my last full week of work. (Monday next week is a holiday here

Have a great weekend!

Im reading a book called Shuggie Bain. B

It’s by Douglas Stewart, a Scottish author. The book is about a boy growing up in Scotland in the 1980’s. His mother is an alcoholic big time and his father is a gone to live elsewhere taxi driver

I’ve only just started it, but so far, it is good. Quite shocking in places. A lot of places.

This book has been on my read list for a pretty long time, and I finally started it because a friend is reading it.

Six more working days till retirement!

Have a good day!
