Very cool! The first few months are going to be a blast! The rest of the time will be great as well, but especially the first few months.
Yep. Most retired people I know hibernate in their homes all weekend. I can't imagine looking forward to Mondays. Must be a weird feeling...Yep - using facilities like the gym, the neighborhood tennis courts, whatever during "normal" work hours - not to mention grocery shopping mid-morning! - these are all HUGE benefits of being retired!
They go away on the weekends though! If you live in an urban area you'll come to dread the weekends. Can't even sit out in your own back yard on the weekends because everyone else is out catching up on their mowing!

I can't wait to see the results, to see what my nestegg on Retirement Day ends up being, and consequently what my SWR will apply to!

Well - you definitely start feeling cheery on Sunday evenings - just the opposite from when you were working.Yep. Most retired people I know hibernate in their homes all weekend. I can't imagine looking forward to Mondays. Must be a weird feeling...
Wow - that's impressive! A long retirement! If she's doing the rowing machine at 83, she's keeping those bones in great shape!An 83 year old woman, who said she has been retired since 1962(!) showed me how to work the rowing machine. It was nice to have plenty of time to try it out, since my routine up to now has never included that machine.

.....Since I retired I hate weekends and all the working stiffs that get in my way. So I stay home if possible.
You will wake up tomorrow with a big empty feeling. Thinking....'Is this really it?' Not knowing what to do you will probably head to this nearest Walmart inquiring about a 'greeter' job. I'm so sorry for you. It can be a very disappointing experience.
I on the other hand will wake up tomorrow, have a cup of coffee, feed the mutt, then have a little breakfast with great anticipation for my 10:00am tee time. Assuming Ida takes a hard turn to the right.
Day 1 sure sounds like it was fun.

Actually, we kind of "solved" the weekend thing when we became perpetual travelers. We tend to travel on Saturdays and Sundays if making a long trek. City and interstate traffic tends to be lighter and you don't have to fight rush hours. Sunday is optimal for crossing a major urban area.

IDA's gone east for the Winter.
This is a great day to practice your knockdown shots.
W2R, sorry I'm late. Looks like you're starting off right.
It took a few weeks for the Sunday afternoon gloomies to go away.
