Retired People--What Do We Do?
Do working people ever wonder what retired people do every day? Well, as a "retiree," I am not even sure what I do. By the "end of the day," which varies daily, I wonder where the day went? There are some days that I could give a detailed report. It does seem that I never just sit around. Each morning I read the newspaper, cartoons being my favorite. I usually cut quite a few things out of the paper so I have to organize those--into a pile. I suppose all those will end up on my "hayrack." I talked to Elise this morning, which is a normal part of my day. She calls me on her drive to work. Some days Chris also calls me on his drive. It helps me to feel close even though I am distant in miles. I check my emails while I eat my bran muffin with my cold coffee. The trouble starts when I look at my computer. One thing leads to the next. Answer. Save. Check on a sale. Look at a project I've started. Start a new project. Should I dump anything? Oh, yes, I told her I would google something. Back up stuff to my hard drive. And there I am and it is noon and I am in my pjs. I realize I forgot my vitamins and pills. I better take them. Then I see what there is to do in the kitchen, besides ordinary kitchen stuff. I carry something to the bedroom and decide to make the bed. I should play the piano. I ask Lyle if we are going anywhere. If not, I will just stay in my pajamas. I usually decide on a project to do or work on one started. I will tell more about my projects later. I better get something done. It is noon already and I am at my computer in my pajamas! I DO LOVE BEING A RETIREE. Whatever that is.
