Retirement & Other Ramblings

It has been a very long time since my last post. No reason, certainly not that I have been to busy to post, one nice thing about retirement, your time is our own.

All the time I was working, which covered many years and jobs, I thought someday I'll be retired and have all this time to do all the things you put off while your working. Who wants to spend every day off tied to the house, you want to have some fun, there are people to see and places to go, and no sense starting a project you can't finish. All of those closets, cupboards, drawers, laundry room, wow makes me tired just to think about all those things. Well I still haven't gotten to many of those things, have been off for a year and as couple of months. Now the problem seems to be starting out to do one thing and stopping to just do another one thing and all of a sudden you have been fooling around with things, straightening closet, hanging different pictures on photo wall, can't even remember doing what but the day is gone. Oh well I say I have all day tomorrow. Joel I do spend most of the day together, not always productive but together, and I know I will always be grateful for all of that time

I love being retired. It is a great feeling to know that I can do anything I want when I want and nothing if I choose not to. I'm getting into some bad habits however that I'm going to try very hard to get out of. Staying up to late, which I really love, I'm more owl than eagle, which means you sleep later and your day is gone before you know it. Also I could probably be very content to not go anywhere and just stay home in my Jammie's or sweats all day, said this wasn't going to happen to me but it does seem to be creeping in. I'm hoping with summer that mood will leave me, of course I blame it on working all of those years and having to leave when all I wanted to do was stay home. Do you like my logic? Some changes are coming and I will blog more later.

I do LOVE being retired, it means being home whenever the grandkids are and being home every day my grandson is visiting, don't miss any actvities with them and spend much quality time with them. We are blessed to have grandkid's who want to be around there old grandparents, Our daughter has done a fine job with her childern, we are proud of her and proud how the kids are turning out.
