My first three days of retirement were spent nursing a bad cold. I guess the body thought that it was its turn for attention. After toughing it out on Saturday with the normal schedule of breakfast out grocery shopping and later dinner with the Lawrences I gave in and let the cold run its course. I finally got a good nights sleep with the help of Benidrill last night.
Usually on Sundays I make out my lesson plans for the week ahead. Sense a routine is one of the most common things retired folk say they miss I decided to keep doing a plan for the week ahead. I created a template in word for the weekly plan and put in the chores that Carol expects me to complete each week. In addition I have space for additional activities to be involved in each weekday. I figure that this will give me a sense of accomplishment and remind me to to the things that will keep my new primary boss happy.
The next couple of weeks are devoted to jobs that will get the house in shape to put on the market. Salvation Army is coming today to pick up some furniture and a guy is coming to stretch the carpeting in a bedroom. Tomorrow Mark is coming to help me fix the ceiling in the basement. The rest of the week will be devoted to continuing my de-clutering my office, workshop and the garage.
Other than preparing for the move this seems like just another summer vacation period.
