Reality Check

Wow. So yesterday, I was sitting at my desk. It was about 3:30ish. My email box pops up and I received an email from our office in DC. It was an invitation sent out to employees that have 10 years or less remaining before they can retire, to attend a retirement seminar.

I looked at it kind of strange at first. Like, why are they sending it to me? Then it hit me. Not only am I in that group, but I only have 9 years before I can retire. It seems weird that at my age, I will be retired in 9 years

When I got home last night, I told J about it. He thinks it would be beneficial for me to go to this now instead of waiting for another one. I also agree with him. Nine years is not a long time and I want to be able to be in a good position to be able to retire. I do plan on getting another job someplace. Just not sure what I want to do. But whatever it is, it will be part-time.

I guess once I get back from the seminar, I will have to sit down and try to figure that out. I feel like I kind of have to grow up all over again.
