How's retirement going?? Dear God! If I hear that phrase again, I think I may bloody well scream............ ! Just how is retirement going?? Truth is I'm really struggling. Some days it's moderately ok - others it seems almost unbearable. I begged and prayed for the day we would retire and we could 'be'! It turns out I have no idea how to 'be'. (Husband has perfected the art very quickly!) However, I know how to 'do', oh I know how to do that so well, so I'm 'doing' lots; cleaning - lots and lots of cleaning! I've turned back into the eternal cushion plumper. Ironing - a new skill re-learnt by me, believe it or not. Most of our clothes were sent to the laundry as we were too busy working or they came out of the machine and flattened out. Do you know the last time I washed and ironed sheets?? About 16 years ago! All my linen has been dispatched in a blue bag via a nice little man in a van and returned crisp and clean...
I do have a retirement plan, I just can't figure it out yet?!
