One last week of my vacation

I have retired from the IT world for 1 year and 5 months now. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. I started my "retirement vacation" in Portland, ORE by hanging out with some of my closest / 'best-est' friends for a few months. I had a blast. I was not ready to move across the country.

We moved to the sunshine state about a year ago and had a very tough transition. We have been all tied up with the new place, new culture, and the new house. We had a hard time. I really appreciate our friends that are still in touch with us and try to be supportive. Meanwhile, I was still searching / narrowing down what I want to do. As of spring this year, I was down to 2 possibilities. Yes, school is one of them and that's what I'm planning to do. The classes I signed up for really excite me. The tough part will be the GRE test.

I'm going to continue on the preschool this year. The preschool will be a good laughing / balance place for me. However, I won't feel like this is my vacation job anymore.

School (and that drive, 40 miles one way) and work will keep me plenty busy! All these will start one week from Today!! Say Bye-Bye to my extended vacation!
