Message: [QUOTE="OviedoFLHusky, post: 5030648, member: 4388"] I've been "officially" retired for almost 2 years now -- but I was discharged from a job that I loved 5 years ago (which is a loooong, nasty story; suffice to say that as a result, I learned what the work term [URL='https://psychcentral.com/health/mobbing-at-work-group-bullying']"mobbing"[/URL] means). I looked for another job, and I was about to be hired -- but then I had to go to the hospital for cancer treatment (I'm much better now). And then came Covid, and it was too dangerous for my immune system to be out in public... so I never made it back to work, not even from-home work. [B][I]And I couldn't be happier![/I][/B] I find that I [B]always [/B]have something to do! If it's not laundry, it's cooking up a new recipe, or mopping the floor, or vacuuming, etc. around my house. Plus there's always yard work that can be done. I've always loved to read, so I try to have a book available at all times (I go for used, unless it's one of my favorite authors). And I've taken up "upcycling" as a sort of hobby. I've painted all of my old, sun-faded outside furniture (chairs, tables, plant stands, etc.) so they look like new. I also have a lot of worn, decrepit-looking old plant pots that look great once they have a new coat of paint. And paint is fairly cheap; you can get outdoors paint in the crafts section of Walmart for just a few dollars a bottle. Thinking about getting a sander and doing some more serious refurbishing on some of my indoor furniture. Maybe best of all -- all this activity, instead of sitting in a cubicle at work, has helped me lose 15 pounds! I [B]LOVE [/B]being retired!!! [/QUOTE]
