I guess I'm supposed to reintroduce myself? Ok.
I don't remember if I joined in 2011 or 2012. I lurked for awhile before joining after I saw peeps from Bad Fiction and Dr. Conspiracy here. Back then, there were 4 of us in Hawaii, and we had a couple of meetups before three of them moved to the mainland. <crying>
My avatar is Ted (Pres. Roosevelt), my big, sweet goofball who has kept me (semi)sane during my first year of working from home.

So, what's happening.... I retired. I don't have my County retirement yet. I have SSA and other funds, so I'm ok. The union is now looking into it. I retired because of covid, but apparently that wasn't accepted yet....
I moved into an 1960's condo in Honolulu. Just 5 units. I have an unit with an yard, and Mocha loves it! And across the street is a park. It's a great place.
My son & partner lost their apartment due to be it being sold. Prices are huge for rental and sale. So they moved in with me. ARGHH. I really want to support them, but I wanted MY home. Sigh.

Lots of good, and bad, too also. But you live in paradise, with good food and good people in your life. The retirement will resolve itself. I'm not sure I need to be feeling sorry for you. I would probably trade places with you if'n I could. ![Big Hug :bighug:](./images/smilies/bighug.gif)

Since I retired, I'm going through aging stuff. My 73rd birthday stunned me. Not possible! ... Now I'm cleaning out boxes and closets, thinking that it will be easier for my son when I pass. Yesterday I found my will and started folders for important documents. Maybe selling off some jewelry to pump up savings account. Looking to sell my signed Joan Miro in an auction because my son never liked it. On the other hand, he might want to keep it because he knew I loved it.
Off to the city tomorrow to talk with the Medicare office about more coverage.

Hard day yesterday. My Aussie ex was moved from a senior apartment to ... I forget the word, but it's about the end. Fortunately, our son has a sister who works for an airline carriers - Qantas I think - so my son flew to Oz yesterday and is with his dad. ![Broken Heart :brokenheart:](./images/smilies/brokenheart.gif)

Oh, Lani. So sorry to hear about your ex. Glad your son could manage a final visit. That's really important. ![Crying or Very Sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)

My son's partner lives in my condo. She had a brief call, son just said he is with his dad.
He has neices and nephews with several kids in Adelaide and in Sydney. He loves them, and they love him. This is a sad time.
