I was lucky to appreciate a job that I certainly enjoyed.
But when it was time to hang it up and leave the zone controlled Heating, Ventilation, and A/C of that office, I was ready to go.
While I still had a passion for the work that I did, I was just burned out. There wasn’t enough energy left inside me to keep going at the levels required. I’m just lucky that I was able to retire early before I was forced out or something worse. But my wife and I were prepared since the people I was with and I both sort of started planning our retirement well before it happened. In fact, it was sort of a nice passtime at night in the air conditioning system of our home to system our move. All of us had regularly wanted to go south to the sun. Having spent our entire adult lives dealing with a serious winter, the people I was with and I were ready for a change. And the people I was with and I spent plenty of nights inside the quality heating and air of our condo figuring out just where the people I was with and I wanted to go and what sort of location we’d live. For sure, the people I was with and I were both interested in keeping it simply. Replacing the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C device and selling the family home was the opening to pare down to a much simpler life. And the people I was with and I took full advantage of that opportunity. These afternoons, the people I was with and I spent more time outside or in the sunroom than the people I was with and I do the rest of the house. But the people I was with and I have a enjoyable ductless heat pump that allows us to appreciate that sunroom no matter the temperature outside.
