What to write

I have written and deleted 2-3 blogs in the past couple of weeks because they were all too whiney, mainly about work and overwork. I am having a very difficult time staying motivated. I am tired all the time. Just finished a whole series of medical tests and so far nothing wrong. So I guess I just keep on going since I can't afford to stop.

2 years and 4 months

Yes, 2 years & 4 months, 121+ weeks, 851 days - then, if all goes well, I will be in position to retire from huge, giant xxx corporation after 34+ years on the job.

More and more I am trying to figure out what to do then. Consulting is what I keep hearing from co-workers - draw retirement but continue the game. But I am tired of the game, it is not fun anymore. For a long time, most of the 30+ years it was, but not now. So what should I do? Work something new? Volunteer for something? If so, what.

Or maybe nothing. Move to some retirement place somewhere and just hang out. Flirt with the 60+ single women, learn bridge, shuffle board? Sounds deadly, but who knows, maybe it would grow on me.

Well there are still 2 years and 4 months to decide.
