NOW THAT I’M RETIRED:
Not saying I’ve gotten lazy these days, but my favorite exercise now is doing “diddly-squat”.
I do tuck my feet into my chest and lean forward, since that’s just how I roll.
Monday is cleaning day. So far, I’ve polished off two candy bars.
Decided not to buy a 2024 calendar. Don’t want to think of my days as numbered.
Having lots of dental work and amazed at the rising cost of tooth pics.
After a tough time raising my daughter, I’m having a great relationship with my grandchildren. Guess they found we have a common enemy.
Retirement is a lot like my old job, except now I can do nothing and not worry about being caught.
