Countdown to Retirement

It has been 25 years since I returned to work after taking 7 years off as a full-time housewife following childbirth.
I have decided to retire at the end of October.

Every morning, I jog toward the ticket gate, and from the station nearest to my office, I join the line of people walking the path to work.
It was last year that I started wondering if this was really okay.

I could have my employment extended until I am 65, but I thought, why not do what I want while I am still healthy?
There is also the anxiety of not having a steady income once I retire.
Since I haven't decided on anything specific to do, I was hesitant, wondering if I would regret it.

However, I have decided to let go of such anxieties.
The number of days until retirement is 157.
If I calculate my summer vacation and paid leave, I will graduate after 100 more days of work!

I am going to reset these busy days, where I feel like I am always being chased by something and rushing even when I don't need to.

For the first three months, I plan to do everything I want to do, one after another.
I am thinking of a list of things I want to do and places I want to go, and my imagination is running wild.

Places I want to go
・A solo hot spring trip for about 3 nights
・A week in the Goto Islands
・A spa experience at a stylish hotel in Tokyo
・I want to eat pudding a la mode at an old-fashioned coffee shop
・Visiting art museums and museums
・Visiting botanical gardens

Things I want to do
・Have a hotel lunch with my family
・Want to learn tarot
・Study homeopathy and traditional Chinese medicine
・Output what I have learned so far
・Want to participate in seminars held on weekdays
・Clean up the whole house, carefully select what I use, and live a life with fewer possessions
・Want to try drawing illustrations
・Volunteer
・Want to dress stylishly

I wonder if I can do all this in 3 months (lol)
