[QUOTE="donna723, post: 319110, member: 1883"] Me too, Mutt! I have a few aches and pains here and there, nothing serious. It's more annoying than anything. I really don't feel any different than I ever did. And I don't consider myself to be 'old'. It helps that most people think that I'm in my fifties somewhere - I'll be 64 next February. Not that I look that [I]good[/I], I just don't look 63, whatever 63 looks like. I still have two more years to go before I can retire and I am SO looking forward to it! I have to be 66 to get my full social security and I just couldn't live off of what I would get if I did it any earlier. By that time I will have 25 years in at work, meaning my pension will be higher and they will pay a higher percentage of my insurance. If I could do it now, I would jump all over it! It's not that I mind working or that I have some big plans for when I retire or that it's hard for me to work, but it will be so nice not to have to get up early every day, do all that getting ready, then driving 30+ miles to get there, then putting up with all the crappola once I get there! And I do find my attitude changing now that I am starting to see the "light at the end of the tunnel". I'm a lot more outspoken at work now than I used to be, a lot less tolerant of all the B.S. that I've had to put up with all those years now that I don't have that much longer to go. I'm thoroughly enjoying that part! [/QUOTE]
