Building it and maintaining it must be quite dangerous. I am retired too and find my days very busy. Today I got up at 7 a.m. so I can take my dog on walk, wash my hair, etc. before Women's Bible Study at church.

But we do use 2 sheets, and 2 light bedspreads - as well as an afghan - all to contain cat hair and easy to throw into the washer/dryer. The cats are never on the sheets. <br />And I agree that neat and tidy is nice, too clean and stark looks unlived in.

I wish I didn't but I still do bite my tongue and try to be appropriates most of the time. I do enjoy an occasional shock statement but they are rare.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-63491839350681729522018-01-28T07:16:30.557-08:002018-01-28T07:16:30.557-08:00I keep personal remarks to myself, on the whole, b...I keep personal remarks to myself, on the whole, but have no problem giving my opinion on topics on which I have an opposing opinion.

I get things done but I certainly agree with you. The best part of retirement is following the schedule I choose.

Doing as much as you want to do, keeping some routines and looking forward to more adventures. <br /><br />EileenSakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-83571517576442685482018-01-27T15:19:03.851-08:002018-01-27T15:19:03.851-08:00I really enjoy climbing into a well-made bed each ...I really enjoy climbing into a well-made bed each evening, so certainly make it each morning! Although hubby has been sick and needing lots of naps, so my bed is not always neat at night. My house is tidy and neat and not perfect.

Oops!<br /><br />If I make it to retirement, I still will make my bed every morning. It's ingrained in me, and I don't want to step into a messy bedroom at the end of the day.<br /><br />As for getting things done...I can imagine being rather unproductive in my day-to-day life. LOL. I suspect that for me, having more free time would mean doing less, putting off chores, etc. for more enjoyable things.<br /><br />My mom is finding that since her husband/my step-dad passed, she no longer rushes to get up and get out to (to the nursing home, medical errands, etc.) and hangs around in her jammies at 9 AM, doing her crosswords, and so on. She seems to be settling into her own routine, which is good. :-)Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.com
