Being retired... every day is not just like it is Friday... but, every day is like collecting unemployment insurance and pretending that you are really looking for a job... you don't really get serious about looking until you only have a couple of weeks left.
Being retired... is like being on vacation every day at the beach without salt spray getting into your food and sand into your clothes and bed... no matter how hard you try to keep that shit off... it finds a way to hang on anyway.
Being retired... is like not having to work unless you want to or unless your wife tells you that you have to or else??? No male has the "balls" to find out what or else really means.
Being retired... is like reaching an age when you no longer pay any attention to what your wife says no matter what her level of threats might be.
But none of those really apply to me THANK GOD... because being retired for me is having cooking to cook my own meals because my wife has retired from cooking... and that really is ok with me because it actually gives me something to do and once you get into it, cooking is rather enjoyable... once you get past having to eat the shit you cooked while you were still learning.
My days are spent drinking coffee, walking around the community, cooking meals just for me as my wife cooks her own, publishing stuff on my blogs, and writing novels. However, much of that stuff is always interrupted because I have to go to these damn medical appointments about my heart, my back surgery, my teeth, my eyes, my hearing, my cancer treatments, my cancer tests, and follow-ups after being hospitalized due to a staph infection.
It sounds worse than it really is because it is only like once or twice a week... but then there might be 2-3 weeks where I go nowhere... and, then it starts again.
Being retired is being old and not really giving a shit when the end of the week arrives.
