I am starting my third year of retirement and like you I sleep when I am sleepy,eat when I am hungry,do what I want when I want and generally just enjoy life.
Like you also I have my share of identifiable and unidentifiable and irritating aches and pains and sometimes I am up at 3AM at the puter.
Getting old sure ain't for sissies.BUT...retirement sure beats the hell out of going to work every day despite the price we pay for it.The actual thought of going back to work makes me sick to my stomach.
Look at the pluses.We can go hunting,fishing or shooting during the week.No waiting for the weekend.How many times did you want to be doing one of those pursuits when you worked rather than being at work?
You get "senior prices" at all fast food restaurants.
When you smile at a pretty young thing,she smiles back knowing that you are harmless.Little does she know........
You can get away with a lot of crap that people would otherwise be greatly offened by just because you look older.
These are the GOOD DAYS.I am enjoying the heck out of them.
