I'm sure I've told you that my husband, rather than counting down the days till my retirement is actually counting down the days till his freedom is taken from him. Well today I realized why. I'm unable to relax and do nothing or even entertain myself. He's told me that for years but I haven't listened. I was going stir crazy. I kept bugging my husband to ask what we should do next. Felt like I needed to do something, anything, but didn't know what. I ended up going to the gym and working out for 1 1/2 hours. That did the trick. I felt great after that. I could sit and enjoy relaxing on the patio. I've decided I need to create a list of " what to do in case of craziness" list and give it to my husband so that when I get like that and need some direction, he can simply hand me the reminder list to set me straight. What will be on my list? Well, go work out for starters. I'll have to think about what else.
Here is a pic of the cottonwood we sit under after we recently had it trimmed. It was a major improvement and seems quite happy. Funny thing...the squirrel that used to raid our bird feeders hasn't been in the yard since we had the tree trimmed. Now we can enjoy watching him from a distance and spend a lot less on bird food. A happy side effect.
