it's Friday, right?
I am heading out to 29 to spend time with the boys. My phone isn't working in the house, so we got a "spare" as I am traveling alone and if it's the phone and not the cell towers, as I suspect it is, then I don't want to be on the road without a phone.
Funny I used to do this run all the time when I was younger and cell phones were not a thing AND there were less people on the road to boot, Now I would not dream of it.
Retirement is weird. My body is still on my "work clock" so I wake up at 6. I tell myself I can sleep longer, but that usually is only about 7 am then I am up. I have been getting up early as long as I can remember. I wonder if I am a "morning person" by biology or by training. I do enjoy a quiet peaceful morning. I am looking forward, sort of, to the move to 29 where mornings are quiet. I am hoping to put a picnic table on the patio to have coffee and maybe read or write in the morning air before it gets too hot to do so.
I am retired. Someone told me I will be even busier in retirement than I was when I was working. I would like a rest, even for a bit, but life has been pulling me in a thousand different directions. The new type of stress is insane. I am hopeful all the crazy , horrible things that happened in the past three weeks resolve ( it looks promising) and I can just breathe.
So far, I have signed up for an online class in something I was always interested in but never had the time for. It's via the library and I think I can just take it at my own pace. or not.
I belong to a group that reviews books and I inadvertently signed up for TWO of them at the same time. I also have to finish a library book that is due back in two weeks that I can't read on my Kindle. There MAY be a way to get it to my tablet, if I can FIND my tablet. It may be in storage.
Chris and I need to go thru the stuff we have in storage. We are planning a garage sale in August or September. Watch this space. We brought home a lot of things from Anna's that we need to determine what to do with. UGH. A lot of emotions go with that.
I have always been a busy person. I am not sure I know, or want to know, how to slow down. Time will tell
I am glad to see you are posting almost every day! Good for you! I hope you keep it up.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't take me anytime at all to transition into retirement mode, but everyone is different.
Congratulations again
Tom!
