A New Toy

I ordered a new cover for my iPad - two of the others I have are becoming a bit frayed around the edges - this one has the added advantage of a bluetooth keyboard!  It certainly is small, yet very easy to use - particularly since there is great "feel" to the keys.  I'm hoping that it will be useful - particularly for taking notes etc. during meetings.  Of course there aren't many meetings left in my library career!

  

Luckily, the keyboard will also link to my phone which might come in handy for texting especially since my fingers don't fit the phone keyboard easily - especially in portrait mode. 

Regardless - I'm enjoying the keyboard and I'm sure I'll use it often.  And thank you Amazon Prime - I was able to order it Wednesday evening and get it Friday morning!!  YAY!!

Time passing

Things are moving forward.  On Feb. 27th I met with the City's retirement person and signed the necessary papers to apply for retirement.  (YIKES)  Next week I have an appointment with Social Security to do the necessary paperwork for Medicare and find out if Harry's SS is going to be higher than mine (I think it is) and get everything ready.

We're checking out materials for March 24 - so it seems like March is almost over already!  The perils of living 3 weeks in the future!  Time is certainly passing quickly and before I know it, it will be May and my career will be coming to an end.

As I said in my email to my boss - it's never easy making large, important changes but there are times when it's necessary.  I've enjoyed every one of the 30 years I've been working but it's time to step aside and let someone else have the fun.  I'll miss the people with whom I work but I don't know that I'll miss the daily work.  I'll have to see.
