Back to routine again. Would have started back yesterday, but we had to have Charter send a tech to the house because we had no internet or land line and they couldn't problem solve it over the (cell) phone with Dad. Apparently they had installed some kind of filter on the signal that was interfering so they had to remove it. Very nice to be back at the full size computer and keyboard. The phone thing gets old. Heading back to work today after two weeks' vacation for my final four weeks. It's a little scary, but I still think I'm making a good decision to move on now while I'm still young and energetic enough to carve a new chapter in retirement. I told Roseanne Debot yesterday that I'll likely volunteer one day a week at Bootstrap starting in October. That will allow me to feel like I'm still being useful to my community. Really have to get to the store today to get some fruit into the house. Yesterday there just wasn't any time as Taylor's mom and stepdad and step-sibs came to visit and we had dinner with Michael and Taylor after they left.
