First day of retirement

August 10, 2018
Today is the first day of my retirement. There were some disappointments yesterday. I didn't get paid for my last two weeks of work because this pay period was the first pay period of the contract year and I didn't have a contract. Oh well I guess it is what it is. I did get a royal send off from the greenhouse staff with a delicious lunch.

It seems strange not to have to be somewhere today. Now if I can just get myself organized and start producing art and getting in some writing time each day. Just need to remember to blog each day.

I bought myself a retirement present, a Babylock Jazz. I have lusted after this machine since it came out but it was just too expensive. It finally was on sale for $599, half of the price at Carols. I haven't set it up yet because I don't have room, but hopefully by the end of today I will have space.

Today it is my intention to:
1. Clean my bedroom.
2. Finish scrappy star quilt top.
3. Bead one hour on Jill's moccasins.
4. Quilt 4 hours on Ryan's quilt.
