The beginning

So ...... I have arrived at the beginning of my next Chapter. The last week in work was not as enjoyable as it could have been. I gave 11 weeks notice so I could ease myself out and someone else in but that takes two sides to get it right.
I have left copious notes for "whoever" takes over but the signs are that the process will change beyond recognition.
Ten years ago I had two days handover and then made the job my own. I hope the new person is allowed to do this.
On reflection I had a lot of freedom around how I did my job but the pressure was still the volume of work and the deadlines.
All done now and the only deadlines are getting to my lunch dates on time!!!
Technically I am just on holiday until Thursday but I dont expect to be called back for any reason so I am making new plans as from now.

I need to set this blog up nicely soon . That is a challenge for the end of this month. I have my swimming challenge on Friday which is my 66th birthday. How ridiculous!! I must check my birth certificate as I am pretty sure there must be an error there!!!!

September I start walking on Thursdays with Elaine and Tracey. That will be interesting. Twenty years age difference so my challenge is just to keep up. My knees are so much better since I have lost my first stone . I hope to lose another one although it seems to be a bit slower in coming off now.

I am going to start making my lists today. I will use my lovely black notebook which contains some pages of Cruse suggestions. But I will just keep those pages in for historical value!!

So 8am Sunday 10th August and it has sunk in that I am no longer Cruse Bereavement Care North Wales Area Administrator!! I am just ME.

Let's get on with what I want to do now. I need to still have a routine as that is what I do, but it can be a flexible routine ....... Sounds good to me .
