What is Retirement Like?

Since being retired for 23 years you notice things about yourself! I notice that I drink several cups of sleepy time tea during daylight hours? I complain the mail man is never on time! I send several house payments in ahead of time in case I forget! I complain about the weather even though I am not in it! I wish Christmas would get here in January! I have promised my wife to vacuum the rug last year! I tell the guests in January that the cob webs will come down after halloween! I have two clocks in the same room with different times an hour apart so I do not have to change advancing or retarding by one hour every year! I leave the Christmas decorations up all year long! I look the other way when I see dust! The thought of inviting a guest requiring house cleaning depresses me! I kill roaches with a BB gun! The thought of ever having to move tires me! I get my carnival kicks riding my stair lift! I do not separate laundry anymore! Just throw the mixed bag into the wash! It will all come out in the wash! My tax preparer tells me it is too early to file! I love the winter when the grass does not grow! When my furnace blower starts I get a cloud of dust off my venetian blinds! I make my bed when I feel like it. I answer all spam calls to make conversation. Just a few changes you will begin to notice in your retirement years!
