I like to read the newspaper deaths column in bed and only get up if my name's not there. Funny how people are still dying in alphabetical order?
I only have two thing to do each week. Thursday take the garbage out and Sunday go to church. And I get so excited on garbage day I get up at 6 a.m. so I don’t miss it.

I used to think that I would not look forward to getting older, gray hair, loss of same, age spots, but after the years passed I could not wait till the day that I would retire. I worked for the New York State of Corrections for 41 years and in the last ten years the changes have not been for the better. I started in 78 when Aids was bad and just got out six months before the Corona virus hit, I can breath easy that I don't have to deal with that at work. Here's to all of you retired on U.H.H, I don't mind being called an old man as I can now enjoy my retirement and SS check with more time to enjoy photography our grand children and BEER.

How true...
Everyday seems like Saturday.
I prefer week days - roads and stores are less crowded, although that doesn't apply now.
I am never confused, every day is Sunday!!!

It’s all confusing.Retired right before Covid. Probably only smart decision I ever made in business.

Does someone make one with 12 months on it??? I can see three lined up on the wall #1. 12 months #2=7 days, #3=regular clock Maybe even add a 4th one in position #1 that shows the year. Or do it as a desktop/screen saver app for computers.
My wife keeps track of her meds. time, supper prep time, and bed time for her, on her cell phone. works very well My body clock tells me when it is time to wake up, turn off TV and go potty and bed. LOL.

Hey that's funny but completely true and it's even worse with the stay-at-home lifestyle we now suffer. Being retired already gave my wife and I a taste of this issue we still had day-dependent routines such as babysitting for my granddaughter, Mondays and Wednesdays, and Friday's food shopping that required us to keep track of which day it was. Not now...
The other problem is that when "every day's a Saturday" you have no problem letting the start of a project slide to the next day. Thing is, "there's always tomorrow" can morph into "so why bother, today?" letting a project languish, indefinitely. It actually takes a fair amount of self-discipline and self-motivation to keep productive, in the retired/COVID environment. Or maybe that's just me!

no fourlocks you are not alone to on this issue. I have several projects started but then put on the back burner oh well there's plenty of time to finish that job tomorrow or so I think anyway. I obviously lack self-discipline.
Retirement is great, no need to remember what day it is, sleep in if you want, eat when you get hungry, etc. I got up this morning and my wife asked. "What are you going to do today?" I replied, "Take it easy." Then she said, "You did that yesterday." And I responded, "I didn't finish yesterday."
Retirement is great.
When I was travelling I always had the hotel bring the local paper so I would know what day it was and what city I was in. Now that I'm retired, my only problem is I never get a day off.
Retirement is the art of doing very little, slowly.

Yes, retirement is nice.
All I know is when I look out my window, and it is light, I surmise that it is "daytime", and vice versa. Don't really care what day it is, unless I have somewhere to go.
