Retirement ah I love it. LOL

[Got Stripers]

Can't wait, it's right around the corner for me, the closer I get the more anxious I get. I won't have trouble filling my day, between my hobbies (golf, fishing, skiing, writing) and the yard work I actually find very therapeutic; I will have a full schedule. It will be so nice to wake up on one of those late fall flat calm days I used to wish I wasn't working on and just say cool going to hook up and go.

You think retirement means no more work, but it just means no more JOB....Your spouse will have a "honey-do" list of work for you to do at home, and you will be expected to finish those tasks ON TIME.....




...or you will start to hear those dreaded words: "Did you finish '(project X)' like you said you would???"

Between having too many projects and having none, that's why many retirees go back to work full and part time.

My aunt is in her 80's and is recovering from cancer surgery, and is planning on working as soon as she gets the OK from her doctor.
My mother also in her 80's and works part time as the local church secretary. (She pretty much runs the church. - [her words])

I figure I've got another 10 - 15 years of grind before I consider retirement, and that's if I feel like it! (I actually like what I do.)
