Just Now Retired!

I am too busy. Even though I am still doing a lot less than I used to do, I still feel too busy. My ToDo list is exploding all the time. Not sure what to do about this. I could quit teaching coding, but what little money it makes is still helpful. Not sure what to do about it.

I am having trouble with sadness these days. I think it’s all because of Covid-19. My hubby worries about getting sick because he is diabetic. The consequence of this is that I go nowhere. We have just recently started going to the grocery store since we are vaccinated. This is beginning to take it’s toll on me. We have ordered new exercise equipment, since exercise helps depressed people and he doesn’t want me to go to the athletic club. We will see. I expect it’s not going to be an instant cure.

My husband is going fishing tomorrow. I wish we were going hiking. I have a fishing license now and could go fishing with him, but who would take care of the dogs? I suppose we should get the dogs used to going fishing. So far no dogs have ever ridden in the boat. Well, luckily I am pretty happy just sewing and dealing with dogs. Something new would be good too.

I have been busy doing nothing. I think the most important thing that has happened is that a friend of mine has a brain tumor.

Yesterday I went to a gathering of my husband’s family. It was my first family gathering in more than one year! It was good. My two nieces attended and it was good to see them again. They are young and vibrant, mid twenties. We brought both dogs and they did well. We took some walks and enjoyed life!

I feel like I should celebrate! My husband gets vaccinated tomorrow! He won’t be 65 until the 24th, but they said he could be a few days early. Maybe eventually we will be able to travel! I am so sick of staying home. I want to be gone for the rest of the year.

Our financial advisor does our taxes for us. This is good, however looking around for all of the stuff that he needs is almost as much work as doing the taxes myself. At least if we get audited we will have help!

The diamond out of my engagement ring fell out somewhere. We are looking for it like crazy. We were married in 1982, so a new diamond of the same size will cost a lot!

I have that. The doctor says I have to take the medicine to get better. I don’t want to take the medicine. I am hoping that all of the carrying of wood that I am doing well help. I take calcium, vitamin K, and other things to help too. Last year it got a little bit better. I am hoping for more this year.

I deserve one because I did not buy anything today! Maybe I still have some brain power left. Tomorrow is another day.
