Wow, you've been quite fully occupied this summer. It seems like a good thing.
I've been as busy as I want to be, but nothing close to you.
Did two Half marathons and have the Marine corps marathon to look forward to the end of October.
Working on my novel; mostly researching, but some moments of inspiration get jotted down.
Retirement? I never wanted to retire, but as I get older my energy level is finite and I have a couple of things left on my bucket list. So, in January I'm going to test the waters of semi-retirement by spending Jan., Feb., and Mar. in Florida. When I return I'm only going to work Mon., Tues., and Wed..
It sounds like you have a lot of changes a'brewin'. Good luck with all of the newness!
