Default If one more person asks me what are you going to do when you retire...

I may scream!!!I am retiring next year at the end of Spring semester (May 2012). I am retiring at 55 which means I am getting hit with a penalty from our retirement system. I know this, and I have planned for it. This was not an easy decision for me to make. Family, friends, and people I do not really know are asking me, "what are you going to do when you retire?" My answer has been either I will be taking care of myself for those that know I have MS to I am not sure to those who do not. I am so tired of being asked this question. Yes, I may move but I do not want to make that decision until at least year after I retire. Yes, I hope to do some volunteer work. Yes, I may be willing to teach one course. Most people ( including my family and closest friends) do not understand how hard it is for me teach every day. I think I am going to start telling everyone that I am going to be writing mysteries
