Im only in month 2 and so far enjoying it, though the adjustment is real!
Im curious how you and others worked out the social portion of your life in RE? I know a few retirees but they all live out of state. For now I’m making the rounds to connect and getting in some travel fun. But most of my good friends are still working locally. I’m not super social but I do enjoy having friends and now that socializing at work is gone I can see a gap down the road.

Paddling, Working Out, Running/walking/bike (leisurely walk on non-running days), practicing/guitar lessons (been slacking on that), enjoying coffee/tea each morning rather than rush the caffeine shot, planning/taking day-trips and longer trips, Euchre club, reading, catching live music a few times a week. I'm also starting to give bike history tours for a friend's business but so far that is ramping up slowly. Sweet spot for me would average twice a week (takes up about 9:30-2:00 of my day but a lot of fun and I'm happy getting paid to do something I'd almost do for free. They are scheduled 3 days a week but not all days are booked and I can refuse tours if I have other plans. The tours fit well as late morning and early afternoon are usually unstructured free time for me after my morning routine of coffee/working out and before afternoon activities start.
Started dating another retiree so that's taking up even more time and messed up my routine a bit as we spend more time together. I'm feeling guilty not practicing guitar as much as I'd like and I've had to renew my last library book 2x as I've been so busy.
How did you meet the other early retiree? That's amazing!
Its like groundhog day every day. But now I like Mondays.There are no Mondays in retirement. Every day’s a Saturday!
I am 3 weeks into retirement and enjoying it. I still have children in school so I still know what day it is.

Welcome back to your thread old medic, they have been keeping it warm for you.
How goes the work? When are you taking the RV out west?
Retirement makes vacations better too. No thinking about being back in the office on Monday and if a day gets rained out you just stay a day longer.
