Here it is the sixth day of retirement, and I haven't done a thing. This can't go on, I must become a productive part of the community or die. It isn't as bad as it sounds, I have been taking my wife to a few places for shopping and appointments, and I did go get my hearing aid fixed (one of the puppies decided to use it as a chew toy about a month ago). Today we are taking Skiddles our little intellectuality challenged Chin to the vet for some more test. He is having a harder time controlling his legs and balance. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
I still have big plans for retirement; go to the gym on a regular basis, volunteer at Madigan Army Hospital and the VA hospital at American Lake, volunteer at the Nisqually Nation Bird Refuge, start the garden, clean up the yard, organize the house, go fishing with the son and grandkids. I just need to get things rolling. I can't wait until after the tax season or inertia will set in and I'll get old fast.

It is VERY hard when you first retire,give yourself some time to get into another pattern for your upcoming days & before you know it,you`ll be wondering how you coped with everything & worked too.phyllis
