Day 8, Retirement
A week has passed since I retired. Contrary to what I thought, I have been quite busy. Before, I hardly did any paper work and odd jobs around the house in the weekdays. It was always "I will do it in the weekend". That mental attitude has now completely changed. It just happened with no effort on my part.
Days are days. The distinction between weekdays and weekend is decreed by work. When you retire that decree looses its jurisdiction. I do feel liberated but with freedom comes the household chores! I have been to the post office, travel shop, bus office, photo booth, supermarket and the cinema, met the post man, window cleaner, gas engineer, and the builder. All this in one week!
Retirement is hard work. So how does it differ from the work as in employment? The big difference is lack of stress. You do this at your pace, at your terms. And if you so desire just sit in the garden, watch the squirrels or you can take a nap! And that is what I am going to do.
Bye for now.
