some might think retirement life is boring

Sep 3, 2025

My day might seem worse than mundane to most people. Not focusing on work at least 18 hours a day is pretty darned amazing in my book.

My mornings usually go something like this…

  1. Wake up late. (I’d sleep later if not for the puppies wanting outside.)
  2. Have a cup of coffee while checking email.
  3. Feed the hounds and let them outside again.
  4. Shower.
  5. Walk on the treadmill for 45 minutes.
  6. Fix breakfast and eat outside on the deck (for now anyway).

Afternoons are a rinse and repeat.

Basically, afternoons are spent doing the same stuff as listed above — plus house, yard, laundry, and flower stuff. All boring, right? Not for me. I’m so thankful for my boring-to-others days. ❤️


Now you know: Many old British homes have bricked-up windows. It’s because at the end of the 15th century, William III imposed a tax based on how many windows a home had.
