ALL Day today I could have sworn it was Thursday, SWORN people, I would have bet on it.......what's happening to time since we retired, it's just gone in a flash and what do I have to show for it........welllllllll, I've got 2 blogs that I spend way to much time on and I have my upcoming cruise to get ready for, and there are always photographs to take with my new camera and then there is visiting with Rudy (which I could do all the time). Okay, so there is housework to do, laundry to do (cause we don't run around naked in these old sagging bodies), and we have to eat so I cook (and try my best these days not to poison the people I love - which means I should invite any of my 5 brothers to visit and feed their nasty asses). Oh yeah, I could lay on the float in the pool too and listen to music.
My head is in a fog, brain farts are much too common and I'm falling deeply in love with my husband all over again.
Retired Life Is Fabulous!

Heads in a Fog

In three month I will be retired. And I am sure I will enjoy that moment. And my head will be in a fog too, most probably. Just thinking about a few things only I will want to do, I already wonder if I will have enough time.
Peter, you are going to love retirement. I have more "stuff" to do now than I did before I retired. It's wonderful to know you can do as you please and have no boss. Just having the stress gone is worth whatever you have to do to get there.
Falling in love with your husband all over again?
Hmmm
That part really caught my attention.
I know I have not yet earned it, but man, I hope I get to retire someday. So glad you enjoy it so very much. That's awesome.
Awww! I love that you are falling in love with your husband all over again:) How wonderful!
Retired life sounds like it suits you well! I especially love where you said you're falling in love with your husband all over again...fantastic! *smile*
Float a while in the pool for me, will ya? Oh, and listen to The Eagles while ya do it, if ya would. LOL
So it looks like a lot of us have been struck by the line that you are falling in love with your husband all over again.... That is so very cool. I'm at the stage where my husband just drives me crazy. I still love him and all, just wish he could grow up sometimes...
BUT YAY for you! Sounds so awesome! :)
poison your brothers huh? now that's funny!
Craft Junkie, the summer after I graduated from high school I actually met the Eagles, yes met them met them and we partied hard. For years they were my favorite music :)
I'm not sure why it's called 'retire' we are always far busier once we do it :O)
I am guessing that your 'brain farts' are the same as our 'Grey cell moments'- meaning that one of our brain cells float away into the universe, never to return?
hawksdomain, I think falling in love all over again comes because for so many years there is so much "stuff" that gathers between two people, kids, bills, careers, etc, we loose track of one another, we change and when we again have just one another and we have time and finances are no longer controlling everything we either fall in love all over again or decide it's time we separate.
OMG, talk about a run on sentence!!!
Great site! Keep up the good work and keep falling in love all over again.
At first I thought you were losing your mind because I was pretty sure that it's Thursday.
Then I started questioning my own sanity because maybe it is Wednesday afterall. Hmm.
Then I realized that your post was from yesterday and now I'm just glad that we're both sane...
...except by now I've forgotten what your post was about so I have to go back and reread it.
It sounds blissful and wonderful, even with the brain fog.
I envy you...retired, cruising and all i wish my days can be fast forward but i don't want to miss the moment where my kids grown up aswell...i guess i have to wait and enjoy my time...while doing it i think i will just read your post all the time to feel how is it to be when i get my retirement.
Thanks for sharing them to us.
Glad you are enjoying retirement. I look forward to mine in 7 years or so . . . I hope I can last that long!
I look forward to a happy healthy retirement, but it's a while off yet!
I had a migraine yesterday, so closed up the shop and slept all day.
So today I'm in the fog and keep thinking it's Wednesday.... maybe our brains got switched in some parallel universe.
If I start falling in love with your husband, I'll let you know.
*wink*
OMG Mo, thank you so much for the giggles......I think we'd be great friends if we lived nearer.
Sorry about the migraine, I've never had one but have friends that I know would have liked to have died rather than go through an episode. I'm glad you are up and feeling better.
Mama,
I was watching this show about cruising and was thinkiing about how exciting it will be to one day go on one! As much as I have traveled, I have never been on a cruise and am dying to go one one! I hope you take tons of pictures of the Panama Canal cruise for us! I just posted some more pics of Cambridge, Mass.
Thanks for the info on the Mac and I am 90% decided on the MacBook. I am debating on the brand new one with the free I-Pod or a used one with warrenty. Since I have to turn in my business laptop, I am have to buy myself one and it might as well be one I really want.
Peace,
Diva
ah ha! a friend of mine said the same thing yesterday. i thought today was thursday. when i was reading this i had to ask myself what today was.
being retired must be great. you get to do anything whenever you feel like it.
OH Girl, I am so excited that your falling in love again. Isn't it just the best feeling.
I am so excited for you about the upcoming cruise. I can't wait for you to take us all with you via Blog land!
What a life! I can't see my retirement in sight ... at least not yet!
Awwww, that was so sweet...
That is the truth. My head is always in a fog. Where does the time Go? I ask myself in my blog over at Mom's Point of Vieau. hang in there. Maybe I will come down and try some of that good ol texan cooking. :)

Hey Girl, I miss your words... Give us some please!!!! Happy Sunday to you.
Oh, Honey! You don't have to be retired to have that brain fog. I went for a whole year convinced that I was 58, when, in fact, I was only 57. It took my one-year-younger sister to point out my error!
What a great post! I am just retired YEAH! I am loving every minute of it so far, but its so new I still wake up every morning and pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming. You are so blessed that you are falling in love again, congrats! When I came to that cross roads I took the other fork in the road. Love your blog!
Have fun on your cruise!
