Enjoying Retirement?

« H E The Present :: Donna :: email
posted Wednesday, 30 April 2008

For several months after my husband retired last August, I'd ask him if he was enjoying being retired.  Because we were settling into the new house and trying to sell the other house, he always said something like, "Not yet.  I'll be glad when we sell the house."  Now that all those things are finished, the other day I asked him, "Are you enjoying retirement yet?"  He replied, "Enjoying retirement?  I hate it!"  That really means, "Yes!"

Is he bored yet? Gene got bored, especially in the winter time.

He's not bored yet, but he's glad the weather is nice enough to play golf more often.

I think I'll adjust to retirement much better than I ought to. I'm not counting down yet, but that's probably about six years out for Joyce and me. Wish her luck in dealing with having an old *art like me around all day.
