Welcome to Retirement!

 Even in semi-retirement, I was keeping the bathroom clean.  The big difference now is that I don't have to rush through it after my morning shower, because I don't have to  be anywhere!  I've also added a few extra steps onto the task that I didn't often get a chance to do each day -- like cleaning the outside of the glass of the shower stall.  I'm also going to start sweeping the floor every day.  Woo hoo, do I know how to have fun or what?

I now have time to hang laundry out to dry.  One thing I like about having more time to do laundry, is that I can wash our bathroom towels more frequently.  They always smell fresh -- not always the case when we were struggling to get it done even once a week.  How gross is it that I just admitted that?

Running  Bill and the dog pillow got mangled by Ziggy at work.  I just never had time to mend them.  Yesterday, the Verizon technician was at the house all morning and I couldn't leave the house.  That gave me time to fix them both.

I was so busy on Thursday and Friday that I didn't have time to post.  And here we are reading that retirees don't know what to do with all of their sudden free time?  On Thursday, I baked, I cooked, I cleaned, did some laundry, and I ran around picking up the catering for TBG's work event.  That event was a blast and I was happy to help.  Teddy and I swam and walked in the morning and had some time with our swimming buddy Jim.  We had a longer walk because I wasn't fitting it in after work.

I am really hoping we can keep our expenses low enough for me to not have to go back to work.  There is so much more that we'll get done and not have to let things go for weeks (or forever).
