Nope, but does count as "getting dressed" for the day.

I went to see the movie "Ralph Breaks the Internet" today with one cousin's 11-year-old daughter, another cousin's 18-year-old son, and my 81 year old aunt. I am just about to turn 63. Obviously the movie was chosen by the 11-year-old!
Given our varying ages, we all got something different out of the movie. I missed every single video game reference, I'm sure, but the adults did "get" a bunch of funny cultural references that went right over the 11-year-old's head.
It was a clever and entertaining movie with a good message about friendship, and I enjoyed it more than I expected. Most of all I enjoyed the company.

Great “day after”, Calico.
Once you retire, every day is a day after. Some great, some good! But they’re yours .

The last time I worked the day after Thanksgiving was in 1980, when I was 17. I had a part-time job at the local library which was open that day.

Checked out late from the hotel at 2pm. Drove home with the top down. All in all a good day.

It was a multi-generational day to remember.
I am looking forward to every day as a day after. I will retire 25 months from today......the countdown has begun.

I’ve got about two weeks left in the office so I’m in a funny place. When we stopped traveling two hours for thanksgiving I started to love the holiday. I am a big fan of turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes etc., The food was great, leftovers great- Almost all of the holiday shopping is done.. since the Mrs. bought herself a sports watch looks like I’m good for Christmas. So since there’s no stress -what’s not to love? I went for a nice walk and it’s even warmed up a little...

“Day after” holidays?
Forgot I started this thread but I guess it’s relevant this week as well.
In some ways, I’ve always felt more settled once the big end of year holiday season between Thanksgiving and New Years has wrapped up. Life goes back to normal and gets a bit calmer. When working, people we interact with usually still have a “good cheer” holdover (usually...), a buzz.
When retired, we get to return to our usual “Take Back Our Workless Week!” social movement. Hah!
