Even though I elected to get a job after retiring, I have kept that attitude. If it doesn't get done today, tomorrow or the next day or the day after that or next week is good enough. A five-year sabbatical will do that for you.
Today I did the grocery shopping, got a haircut, picked up a prescription, had the propane tank for the grill refilled.
Then went for about an hour motorcycle ride but the black clouds made me go home, then cut the grass, now debating whether to take the bike out again or have a glass of wine on the back porch. If I have the wine, I'm in for the day. Still not raining but the weather radar shows lots of little rain cells, so I'll probably opt for the wine.
