296 days until retirement.
I received a frantic call from my SC realtor that my gas and electric was being turned off in Bluffton today. This was a surprise because I thought I had everything set up. A call to the Gas and Electric company, as opposed to the electric company, revealed there had never been an account at my address. Another call to the realtor provided me with the information that I needed to call again because the company had been known to miss accounts. By now it was 5:15. I did call again on the odd chance that they were open until 6. This time they found an account for my house and the gas was scheduled to be turned off tomorrow. I didn't even know I had anything running on gas. It turns out that I have a gas furnace. Sooo, now I have gas that I didn't know I needed. Wow, what a flurry of activity.
That's kind of the way this retirement thing is going. Lots of stuff happening and then nothing. Right now I am in the middle of a nothing period. I want to go down again but there is no reason for it except that I want to be there. There is absolutely nothing in the house except an air bed, a couch, love seat and recliner, the odd lamp or two and a couple of folding chairs. I know Dan got my key and the list of things I want to have done before I move in but I haven't heard back from him. He is doing me a big favor even looking at the house so I don't want to bug him. I wonder how long I need to wait so it doesn't qualify as nagging? I think daily contact would be considered to be too much!
In the mean time we inch along to the beginning of my last academic year. I finally have all of the classes covered. That was beginning to worry me. I think I have the Student Handbook revision completed. It needs one last look from Nan and Shanese. I haven't been able to finish the syllabi for my courses because the class roster keeps changing. We have orientation on Monday, the 22nd, for the new students. That will be our first look at the class.
