Day Two Was Like Day One

Are they all going to be like this?

I can see how so many people say that retirement takes some getting used to.  You don’t know — well, maybe you do — how badly I wanted to go into work this afternoon.  My day off has always been noon Wednesday through Noon Thursday.  Well, noon came today and I didn’t go to the parish.  I have no parish to go to.  I’m done.  I’m retired.  I’m out of there.

Feels weird.

I’ve been a bit of a workaholic for all these years.  Prolonged down time is going to take some getting used to.  That’s why I padded my month with activity.  On Sunday, I’m leaving for St. Meinrad for a week’s private retreat.  When I return, I have a week-and-a-half before I leave for my transatlantic cruise.  When I get back from the cruise, I’ll have to think what I’m going to be doing.  🙂

I have lots of ideas for myself.  I just need to bring them to fruition.
