I am discovering a little more each day that there is a whole other world out there. A world of people who drive cars and go shopping and stop at post offices at all times during the day! During the day!!! For someone who has spent all of her time on a school schedule since I went to kindergarten, that comes as a real shocker! Sure, people have hinted about it, but I am just now seeing it firsthand. Days off from school and summer vacation are different. All of us "school people" are off then. Did you know that some people can go in to work at different times and leave at different times??? Some even go out for lunch or leave to get coffee or go to the bank...during work!!! And they can go grocery shopping when the stores and parking lots and aisles are not packed solid. And they are not even looking over their shoulders to see if someone they know sees them and might asked why they are not at school...er...work???
This retirement thing is a real learning experience. I keep thinking, "I shouldn't be out during the day!!!" Any fellow teachers feel the same way? My guess is "Absolutely Yes!"
Old habits are hard to break! :)
