Hello all...another cloudy day here...what a weird year of weather...
Sandy, hope you wear gloves there...I was teaching my inlaws how to push the elevator button with their knuckles and use a fist bump for the handicapped button for the doors at their facility...we don't want them getting sick. That would be a nightmare...  Do you put mulch around trees, too? Or just the veggie garden? Kelly, hope your DS's inspection goes well...  I cleaned the bedrooms upstairs today, and will tackle the downstairs tomorrow or Thursday. DD and her DH are coming down from Cheeseheadland on Thurs for her birthday...my baby's going to be 25...where did the time go? DH is going with me to the urogyne consult to hear what he recommends...ugh. Well, hope all of you are well, and that you all have a great afternoon!

It is another rainy, gloomy day down here too! I had 10 students missing in a class of 26 today. I know that three of them have the flu. I hope that the rest were just skipping class and staying in bed. I can't believe I just said that
!I met with a retirement counselor today. I think I will be okay. I am going to see if I can afford to buy three years of teaching that I have from another public university. They are going to send me the paperwork with an estimate as to how much it would cost and what type of difference it would make. If I do this, it will most likely take me the next 2 1/2 years to pay for the three years. I just hope I can make it until May 2012. Jenn -- I loved To Kill a Mockingbird. I think I read it when I was in 9th grade. I have put it on my list of books that I am going to read again when I retire .

I LOVE bargains!!! I got the book for DD18 for FREE plus $2.00 in credit! Well not exactly free. I brought a book in for trade and got $8.00 in trade and Death of a Salesman was only $6.00.
Jenn & Barb - I love that book too! And the movie. When DDs were little and not up to that reading level, I rented the movie for them. They liked it and then loved the book when they read it in school. Barb - You confused me. Oh wait, that's not hard to do. LOL Why do you have to buy teaching years? I hope you feel better after meeting with the retirement counselor.

Hey guys. Spent all day at the VA hospital and Jim may be sick. We'll know more when all the test come in, should be by Friday. So far all test point to nothing which is good. Please pray he gets better so he doesn't have to go in the hospital. It's a bladder issue again.

Sandy -- Just said a prayer for Jim
Tricia -- I don't have to buy the three years. However, by buying them I would have 27 years of service instead of 24 which could increase my pension significantly. I will have to do the math once they figure out the costs of buying each year. ( That cost is based on your salary when you first started (7 or 8%), the number of years you have taught, and an interest rate that is compounded yearly -- I think ) Our pensions are based on age (if you are below 60), years of service, average salary in your last four years, contributions, and an interest rate of 7%. You also get a 3% cost of living increase. Does that make sense? It is all rather complicated. I have just confused myself .I will basically end up with about 50% of my salary if I do not buy the three years. I feel much calmer now. Of course, now I can just go back to worrying about the flu.
