Getting used to retirement.

I think the hardest part is realizing that there's a lot of time.

When I was home on vacation, I would think of things to do. But sometimes I'd think "I should have done (insert activity here) today, because there won't be time to do that later."
Now, I have to remind myself that there's plenty of time to do that tomorrow, or next week, or next month (or whatever). The meaning of time is different.

But I have to start doing things. I was kind of busy last week, doing errands and small projects that had to be done. Even this past Monday, a couple of days ago. Now, not so much.

Retired dude. Clueless.

I go to the store because I can. Maybe get one or two things for dinner either because we need them or just to think that I've accomplished something.
I do a little cleaning. I make dinner. watch a little TV.
Read. (I do like that I can read during the day.)

That's okay for this week. Not next.

I need to start moving more; walking at least. I need to find a cause (I'm thinking of looking into being a reading tutor.)

I need to figure out this retirement thing.
