Retirement is not a myth it does exist.

Just realized I have no more major projects In the wings oh what to do. Got my list of Chores done. Now we start on D w's list. Can I survive this? stay tuned! I have noticed over the last week or two my Dried out old cracked carpeter hands are starting to get soft. Is this a form of dish Pan hands I don't know. Is this retirement setting in? Is this the elusive unicorn they talk about?

My wife lets me get down to two honeydo's let then adds more honey. It is neverending.  But it keeps me active.

I think your figuring out your DW is ready for retirement. Nothing wrong with that, in fact the extra togetherness is good for planing

Maybe time to find a good civic club like Kiwanis  or other organization that benefits Children.

We had some tornadoes roll through the area last week. I know some carpenters that are hiring if you feel the need to toughen them hands up again.

Love it Larry.  Congratulations.

That’s awesome. Enjoy! I have 3.5 years to go. I am tapping out at 62. 
after that no more major to-do items on the list for me. We’ll pay for those some how. The aches and pains afterwards are getting to be too much.

I retired in September of 2021 (kind of).  I decided to start a “part time” business to give me something to do.  Well the business took off much faster and with a lot more work than I expected that first year.  Luckily my wife was still working full time until the end of last year so it wasn’t that big of a deal.  I have started carving out longer travel periods this year now that my wife is retired.  We are currently on a 5 plus week trip.  But, between the business and our travels my honey do list (and my project list) is piling up with not a lot of time to get things done.  I always heard people say they were never so busy as when they “retired.”  Now I believe it.  All the little stuff I used to do to kill time during the day when I was working doesn’t happen anymore.  I just don’t have the time.  😜
