Forging ahead into a bright, new future!
There was some big news announced in my department this week - I'm retiring! I have been pretty quiet about this on the blog and in my work life, but I learned about early retirement (sometimes called FIRE, for Financial Independence, Retire Early) almost ten years ago and it captured my imagination. Through frugality, privilege, and a bit of luck, I will be retiring from my job in less than two months.
My immediate plans in February are to sleep in as much as I want and start getting more exercise. But longer term, hopefully at the end of 2022, I hope to sell my house, most of my belongings and move to Madrid. I have always liked Europe, and Spain has a visa system that makes this viable for me.
I'm sorry to be leaving my work at the American Physical Society and my wonderful colleagues, but I'm excited for a new adventure. Stay tuned in the coming months for more.

It is most awesome that you have hit your goal and will be transitioning into another phase of life!
Remind me to send you the de-I Sandia Outfitter Catalog of World Experiences. You will have way more time to indulge them.
It begins... :)
huzzooo!
So incredible and excited for you - and another family member moving over to Europe!
Are you going to update the countdown on your blog page? It seems off based on your news.
Such plans - and the time will pass very quickly.
