When you have a job, you can plan what you will do each day, and usually it works out. The goal is to get the job done. It does not work that way in retirement. At least not for me. And, before you think it, I do know that I’m supposed to be in my golden years where I get to enjoy myself. That’s funny.
On this particular day, I planned to go to the auto store and get some mirrors for my golf cart and work on some financial matters. Simple little tasks that need to be done. But, then the reminder that I have to water the plants, mulch the leaves and put them on the plants, repair loose tiles that I’ve been trying to get done for weeks, mow the lawn, edge the lawn, paint the office, pick out and have installed new flooring for the office, get rid of a sofa and two room size rugs, clean the garage, and return some pants that don’t fit.
So, I got out the water hose and put it down because I really need to run the mulching machine first. I started the mower, tried to lift the sofa, got out the tile repair materials, found the edger and power cord, tripped over the rugs and tried on the pants one more time. I have to go and put the lid on the paint so it doesn’t dry out. To heck with the mower, let it run out of gas.
I can’t wait until tomorrow to see what doesn’t get done.
