Yeah, it depends on how the question is asked. Usually it's just small talk, so I give a small-talk level answer: "what I feel like," then add a few details (read, write, watch YT, hang out with my dog). If they want to know more, they can pick up on any of those cues and ask. Most don't. Most people aren't that interested in others' lives, they're interested in their own.
I am five years into retirement now. I got the question a lot at first - probably because I was talking about "just being retired," and so that spurred them to ask, but I don't get the question much anymore.
