So this is what it must be like to be retired.  Sort of.  No school.  No job.  No responsibilities (at least today).  I don’t even know what day this is, and certainly don’t know the date.  I spent the day napping on the sofa and reading a book.  A book that had nothing to do with anything.  What a luxury! 

I am getting Christmas cards from friends of my parents and they are full of all their activities.  I think retirement is actually very unlike my day today.  The retirees I know seem to be very busy, but they also seem to really love the things they choose to do.  That’s what I want when I finally retire.

 For now I’m just retired for a day.  Is that like being queen for a day?  I guess so, minus the tiarra.  It was lovely.  But I’m ready to start doing something more. 

Tomorrow I’ll figure out what.
