As I'm on vacation today, my last day of work was yesterday. It was a lot tougher leaving than I thought it would be. I left early hoping to make it easier and while it did do so, it was still emotional. An old friend/co-worker caught me at my locker and saying good-bye was extremely emotional. I couldn't say much we hugged -- as I was too choked up.
Tomorrow brings my retirement party which I am sharing with another retiring co-worker. I am terrible at good-byes. I am sure that many tears will fall as I say fare-well to my co-workers and friends. I have been very confident about this move and I know it is the absolute right thing to do -- but I didn't say it was easy to leave those that I hold as near and dear. It's difficult. And very emotional.
Sunday is my first official day of retirement. And after seeing a friend or two, I will be off to Iowa where I will spend a couple of days with my family. Then westward. I will continue to blog my experience as I travel west and discover where exactly in Oregon I will be living.
