About Moi

carview.php?tsp=

I was thinking it was time to update.

I realised I no longer wanted to wear the label of widow and mother of two adult children.  Mick will always have a part of my heart as will my kids.  They were/are lovely humans and I’m super proud of them, but that’s not who I am, is it?  It’s but a small part.

I still love to cook and entertain (don’t do it enough), photograph (I’m a real pain in the ass to walk with), and write (though I’ve been rather lackadaisical in the past few months).  But these are just things I like to do and not who I am.

I am so mentally ready to retire but financially feel I needs must continue working for a bit.  I don’t want to be one of those who retires but is then stuck in her house because she can’t afford to do anything!  Thankfully, I think I’ve finally found a job I can do for the next 3-5 (max!) years.  Maybe.  Should I start buying lottery tickets?

I’m a tad pissed at myself because, after visiting Tuscany in 2016, I declared the world awaited and yet, I’ve gone nowhere on my list. Yes, there were some trials and tribulations and this crazy thing called COVID and the need to find employment at various times and other decisions I made which have stuck a stick or two into the spokes of my wheel of life but c’est assez!  I am not getting any younger and if I have to bury another friend my age…  It does give one a sense of stop dreaming and start doing.

That said, dreams are the starting point.  I have a few of those.  Next up, how to turn those dreams into goals and set the plan into action.  Did I mention I am a rather crappy planner?  Oh, my friends say I am a great organizer but that’s for stuff not regarding my own life.  Gotta work on that.

You are rather lovely for having stuck by my blathering.  I’ll surely update you when I actually have something to show for it!

  16. Covid put a damper on a lot of things…but we’re getting out from under it now. I look forward to your next adventure, whenever that is. Maybe, since you don’t like to plan, maybe just get in the car (with the camera of course) and see where you end up? By the way, I, too, am terrible to walk with.

    • No kidding. And it’s still around with spikes here and there. I look forward to mine, too! I am looking forward to retiring and not being hindered by the need to come back at a fixed time 😉
      We’d be fine to walk together because we’d each be doing our thing 😀
