Bold leap into retirement

I was supposed to leave on Friday too, it ended up being 9pm on Monday but it felt good to close my laptop on an empty inbox. I had the best night’s sleep! Then went to the dentist.....and we are done!
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives. Next...
I’ve been letting routine stuff slide for weeks, today I got the fridge back on track. One of my team retired on Friday and is going on holiday straight away but I’d like to decompress first.

Huge congrats to both of you, welcome to the start of this next chapter
I also took some time to decompress, and slowly formed a new routine. There is no rush, so it can slowly evolve with you
