Doug we have this thing we call “a do nothing day” kind of like Daniel mentioned. It’s going to be a DND tomorrow lol.
I’m excited for you Doug. Remember the ole phrase of don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. When you retire that changes to if I can’t do it today it will be there tomorrow.
Sounds like a good idea, Jim! It will be tough to do nothing, but I'm real used to just doing a little---LOL! Loree is still going to work a couple more years. She likes the new position that she has now much better than what she was doing the last 20 years.
Yah and if it doesn't get done this year there's always next year.
Your going to love retirement. People ask me "what do you do now that your retired?" and I tell them I use all the stuff I learned while working to make my retirement more enjoyable and I'm doing it for myself.
Or, It took me 40 years to learn what I'd need to know after I retired.
Have fun!!!!!!
I've got several things that got put off for years because of work, Chris! Use the knowledge and tools that I learned, and try to learn some more! Hope I'm in good enough shape to get stuff accomplished. Will have fun, Thanks!
People always ask me what I do now that I have been retired..
I tell them.
Anything I want....
When I want....
If I want....
Honestly I'm busy enough now that I don't know how I found the time to work...
Great philosophy, Bill! I do know a few folks that can't fathom retiring because they don't have any other interests besides their jobs! I'm sure I can be real busy too, long as my body holds out!
Big party this coming weekend, I can see. Have fun Doug.
Noel
Possibly, Noel! Loree did reserve an area in the closest bar a couple miles down the road for a "Happy Hour" Friday night. They call it a pub. Have real good burgers and now and then us guys from work go there for lunch. I know what I will have for supper that night! Some of the old guys from work and a few old friends along with a cousin and her husband sound like they will show up. Probably won't get on here that night!
And if it isn't here tomorrow it didn't need doing!~
That's the truth, Roger! Some things that at first seem really important to take care of one day, suddenly are unimportant a day or two later!
Shortly after I retired I had a neighbor ask me what my schedule was. My reply was I don't have one and I am not looking for one.
Don
Perfect, Don! About the only schedule I have to do is go into town on Mondays and get my allergy shot and get the garbage out to the road Monday evening!
I sure don't understand those folks that don't retire because they don't know what else to do. Lots of them out there that can easily afford to but can't change the routine. I was always one of those guys that said for years that I would have to call in sick to work on the day of my funeral because I never managed to be very successful financial wise, but about two years ago I decided heck with it. We will make it or we won't. Probably should have hung it up right then.
Thanks for all the comments and helpful advice on how to adapt to being unemployed! I really appreciate all of your outlooks on this!
