I gave a tour of our factory last night. Employees are allowed to give tours of our factory for friends and family. Since I am quitting on Friday, I got a request for a tour from a friend and her family. I purposely pushed the date out since my ankle is still not 100%.
The tour itself went well. I arrived at work a bit earlier than the 7:00 pm time to drop off some candy and pick up a box of my office stuff accumulated of the past thirteen years. The actual tour took about an hour since there were quite a few questions. About midway through the tour, I knew my ankle was going to hurt. Afterwards, I went to dinner with my friend, then drove her home. I arrived at home around 10:00 pm and just crashed. My ankle was very sore plus there were multiple neuropathy attacks. I finally took one pill from my dwindling supply of Norco, and I feel a lot better.
My friend works at a pharmacy, and she gave me some sample pills of gabapentin. I have discussed this medication with my endocrinologist but decided to put it off. After the ankle injury, I feel the neuropathy attacks have been more intense so maybe it is time to revisit my decision.

While at work, I visited a co-worker friend in the Shareholder Services team to make sure that I received my stock vesting. We vest on May 15th and November 15th. The only reason I worked hard to push my retirement date to May 17th is to get my final block of shares. It is not an insignificant amount so I am glad I was able to get it before I quit.
