Realities of My Retirement
Not What Research Predicted

Let me say that for the past three months I have not written here
and I don't know why, exactly.
and I don't know why, exactly.
Several things have happened in retirement:
1. Had a lovely stent placed in my artery so my leg wouldn't fall off.
2. Visited my family at Christmas, where I was told I was too negative. Really? Yep.
3. Almost bought a sports car, a condo, a house, a farm, and changed my mind every time.
4. Didn't get a new dog or cat...might want to take a trip.
5. Didn't take a trip because I didn't want to leave home.
6. Attended my granddaughter's graduation and never saw so many photos taken of the same people in one afternoon.
7. Started feeding a cute but hissing stray cat.
8. Watched approximately 10,000 youtube.com videos, mostly from Great Britain.
9. Joined a gym and go 4 times a week, so my leg won't fall off.
10. Spent most of the past 7 months sitting at my computer.
So, in spite of all of the research I did during 2013, I learned that I'm not one to take my own retirement advice seriously.
I even stopped writing this blog for 3 months.
Why is this happening? I really don't have any explanation.
Stay tuned for my next post, as I promise that I will be doing something exciting and unusual by then, fingers crossed.
Time for my 11 a.m. nap. Ha-ha!
