Retirement Thoughts

I haven't been at work since April 23.  Being one of those who isn't often sick from work, its been quite an adjustment. The days can get long.  

But I always dreamed of what I'd do if I had time off work.  Work on hobbies, my rock painting, quilted hearts, scrapbooks.  I enjoy family history and genealogy, have a huge file on all of it.  Work on my photography.  Work on a tan! And frankly, I haven't done much of any thing .... tv, read books, and lay around.  Yes, I know I am resting the injuries. But I can multitask, can't I? So far, I haven't done much of that.  

So if I'm on the verge of retiring ... how will this go?  I am the kind of gal who likes things in good order.  When I worked I would do vacuuming on Mondays, family dinner on Tuesdays,  laundry on Saturdays.  You get the idea, life had order to it.  So, alarm at 7, walk at 8, breakfast at 9  ????  That would work for me. I think. Scrapbook on Monday, genealogy on Tuesday .....  I know,  I know, a little bit extreme.  But I think this comes after the realization that a month has gone by without a plan.  We shall see!
