Only one more day!

Tomorrow is the end (?) of an era in my life. It is the last day I am scheduled to work at Starbucks. My store is closing and I am retiring. I say it is the last day I'm scheduled, because as one of my co-workers is adept at pointing out, I've tried unsuccessfully to retire before. Twice.

Oct. 28th was my 3 year anniversary with Starbucks.

It is a very bittersweet ending. I will sorely miss my co-workers and many of my regular customers. I will not miss standing on my feet, running around, minding details, cleaning stuff and the like. I will miss people smiling at me and saying "Thank you" when I hand them their drink. (Perhaps I could train my children......NAH!!!) I will miss earning MUG awards and wearing my CoffeeMaster apron. I will not miss coffee counts and one particular milk delivery man. I will not miss getting home after 10:30 pm and being so wound up I can't go to bed! I will, however, miss the quiet of the house when I arrive home at 10:30 pm!

All in all, I am looking forward to the time at home with my kidlets and hubbie. As someone very wise put it, "This is the only time in eternity I will have to raise my children." And that time is so very fleeting (most of the time.)

I will be actively pursuing getting classes going in my pottery studio again. Just as soon as I finish the bathroom. Oy. What a project. I poured the concrete on the new subfloor yesterday. I will restart/continue tiling in the tub surround tomorrow. Or Tuesday. Then on to the floor. My goal is to install the new toilet this coming weekend. It's good to have goals. Gives you something to wave at as they go flying by! Oy.

So, in conclusion, tomorrow is going to be a bittersweet, very full, very fast day. I'm sure my emotions will be completely under control......HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I crack myself up!
