On the road yet again

I wrote in a private message here about it so I thought I'd tell everybody that its come time for one last one way trip to retirement in Mexico for me so if you don't hear from me tomorrow, dont worry.  Here's what I wrote in that message:


As for me today, my life is reduced to utter simplicity at the moment as my last day renting in the US is tomorrow and my bags are packed for the airport in the morning.  Anything not in them is left behind for the landlord to take.  Today I'm still trying to get the required state inspection for sale of my car done at my car dealer's garage.  I'm writing from their waiting room right now.  They're wasting time; I don't think they get what a hard deadline like mine really is.  Oh, well.  If they don't get things done the guy buying my car will work with me anyway, he said.


The next time you hear from me on Thursday I'll be the retired resident of a new country!

Best of luck to you. May your retirement be as simple as you hope and may that simplicity look as good in reality is it did in your dreams.

Suerte.

Gracias, y'all! I sold my car this morning, banked the proceeds, and got on my plane in the afternoon with JOY! Wow, I had no idea I was this ready to retire, so it is a nice surprise. Of course, it will not be idle...I have 2 paid speeches to write and contracts for getting 2 Spanish authors into English. But I will be my own boss. Nice. I am changing planes in Atlanta's airport and have WiFi so I figured I would thank everybody who encouraged me to go for it and be this happy.

Thanks, Loo, I wrote you here separately that my last flight was 2 hours late, and then there was the 1 hour cab ride from the last airport here in Mexico to my little house, so it was 2:30am before my trip ended. Whew! I stayed up and unpacked so it was 6am before I got to bed here in Mexico. But I'm here, I'm here. And for good, too. :-)

Wish you peace, prosperity, happiness. Haven't been here long but it feels like you've been around the block more than your fair share of times. Rest well.

Thanks, y'all. I'm so glad I sold my car on Wednesday back in the USA because today I bought me a little motorscooter here to putter to the store with in Mexico. I went there today because I'm throwing a party for 15 neighbors tomorrow night so the nuns I live with can meet my downtown friends I've made over the years visiting here before my move to Mexico. I'm so happy to be throwing a party--wish y'all could come, amigos!

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
