Leaving work can be stressful, so pamper yourself and do some things you enjoy.

You have a good work ethic to do nearly fifty years in the same gig--you may end up like a relative of mine, who is teaching reading to kindergarten kids at the tender age of 92...only part-time, but still...!!!

It took me awhile to make the adjustment--I retired earlier than you did. For awhile I was at loose ends but I am now amazed at how much stuff manages to fill my days!
