Remember when you were working a full-time job and things that needed fixing or upgrades were going to be fixed "when I have the time or when I can get to it?"
Well, I got a double dose of extra time, I retired in 2019, just a few months before covid, so the days "when I have the time or can get around to it" have been here for a while.
I have just about run out of things to do - I have fixed, repaired, cleaned, de-cluttered, and up-graded just about all I have the ability to do. I am down to rearranging books on the shelves and re-organizing the files on my computer. Maybe I will start organizing the kitchen drawers next.

Yes, my wife and I live in a condo and have several elderly neighbors that I do minor repairs, errands etc. The only issue with this is that since I refuse any payment, they feel obligated to make and send me pies, cakes, and cookies. I am afraid I am going to get fat!

I guess there’s always a price to pay...even for kindness.

I've been retired for going on 22 years, and my To Do List has 45 items, and that's just indoors.
