BigBoxStores regularly update things, change locations of items. There's a lot of wear and tear with so many shoppers coming and going. When I left work back in April, we were working on that, a major update. I missed being a part of it, and today was the celebration of the project being complete. I got my butt out of bed early so I could be there, saw a lot of my coworkers and I'm glad I went.
However, after 12 weeks off work, I felt a little disconnected. Its a weird feeling after 23 years in the same store.
Made me question the whole retirement thing. Is it my time???
So here's the thing. Not working is a decision because Mom is 86. But her Dad lived to be 104. If there's 20 years left, I should keep working. But retail is hard work, very hard on a body.
Will mine hold up??
And then, I was working my butt off so I could leave a house with no mortgage to my son, who was visually impaired. But he died and now .... is there a legit need for me to work so hard? Or can I now kick back and do fun things??
The heat keeps me indoors and affects my decision making. The other 9 months are grand here in the Valley of the Sun. I could walk in parks, take drives, etc.
