I have today off from w*rk, and I am practicing being retired. I can't really retire for two to three more years, but I can dream!

I got up early, with no alarm, made coffee, did a load of laundry, and watched the sun come up. As soon as there was a little light filtering through the trees, I did some (quiet) yardwork in the back yard. Now, I have been up for almost three hours of peace and quiet.

Then I turned on the TV and saw all the people stuck in traffic on the morning traffic report.

In another hour, it will be late enough that I can get out the power tools. Then maybe Frank and I might go out to lunch, and I could take a nap and then hit the gym. I want to do a couple of sudoku tonight (just got hooked and not too bored with them yet).

I think I'm going to take to this like a duck to water.
