First day of retirement.
Officially old.
Can't say that it was uneventful. Took one of the cars for an inspection sticker. Took Marlene to get her watch battery replaced. Then for a medical appointment. Went to the post office. Then to the dollar store. Stopped at Wendy's for a "senior" lunch. Asked Marlene why there were so many people driving around - isn't anybody working to support my retirement?
The title for this blog came up months ago when I was trying to make a decision about retiring. The "conundrum" arose because I enjoyed my job, leaving was not a "no-brainer". The "quagmire" involved facing reality -- we only have so much time and there's so much I want to do and one can become stuck waiting for the "best" time to retire. "Quandary" was just another way of saying the same thing - I was perplexed.
So, why not write about it all?
Maybe throw in some thoughts about anything else that I think about.
We've started an exercise program. Wonderful thing that "On demand" stuff.
I've actually read the entire newspaper 3 days in a row. Maybe I'll catch up on the old ones too.
Of course that's another sign that I'm old - we actually get the newspaper!
Watched Silver Linings Playbook - recommend it highly - 5 stars - of course it's about someone with mental health issues so I'm naturally drawn.

What's next?
Stay tuned.
