"What
do you do now that you're retired?"
I
get asked this question quite a bit, and I thought about it. What do I do? I
decided to list what I do (I'm an avid list-maker).
One
typical day, I:
·
snuggled
with the dogs for about 30 minutes (maybe more)
·
made
the bed, threw on some clothes and had some breakfast
·
put
on my makeup - with the dogs right there with me
·
snuggled
with the dogs for about 30 minutes (maybe more)
·
surfed
the net and sent an email or two; sometimes I do some writing
·
went
upstairs to clean the bathroom
·
Kinder
ran up after me and jumped on the bed, so I snuggled with him for about 30
minutes (maybe more)
·
cleaned
the bathroom
·
came
downstairs and cleaned the half-bath
·
snuggled
with the dogs for about 30 minutes (maybe more)
·
took
the cat, Sassy, on an "ups-a-daisy" walk around the house (takes
about 15-20 minutes)
·
decided
to type up this list
And
it's about time for lunch. J
·
did
some dishes by hand!
·
snuggled
with the dogs for about 30 minutes (maybe more)
·
ran
the swivel sweeper to pick up all the newly blowing tumble weeds of dog hair
·
took
Sheila to the vet for her yearly checkup
On
another typical day, I:
·
snuggled
with the dogs for about 30 minutes (maybe more)
·
threw
a load of wash in
·
made
the bed, threw on some clothes and had a light breakfast
·
put
on my makeup - with the dogs right there with me
·
hung
the laundry out on the clothes line
·
hit
the gym (good girl)
·
had
a light snack
·
snuggled
with the dogs for about 30 minutes (maybe more) They missed me!
·
did
some ironing
Lunch
time.
·
washed
a few windows - the ones the dogs decorate with their nose art
·
cleaned
under radiators, etc., where all the dust and dog hair gathers
·
took
the dogs for theirs walks, one at a time (they don't behave when they go
together)
·
took
Sassy on an outside walk, with her tiny little leash (she loves to watch the
water trickle in the creek behind our house)
After
I typed up my list, I realized that I wouldn't have much to do if it weren't
for my dogs and cat - mostly the dogs. And ya know what? I wouldn't have it any
other way.
