All the workaholic really needs to know...
... He learns in retirement :-)
- All I need for breakfast is a Keurig coffee maker, a toaster and an appreciation for sugary baked goods.
- There are effective ways to warm breakfast bread, but NEVER, EVER broil a croissant!
- I have three kids, not two. Who knew?
- My neighbors are eccentric (c-r-a-z-y) and yet sort of cool. I'd like to get to know them. What are their names again?
- Geez, our dog is high maintenance as hell. He is more demanding than any of our
twothree kids. - I thought I retired from work, but I only retired from a job. How come there's still so much work to do everyday? Hmm... I may have to learn how to (gasp) play.
- We have a plus-sized cat. It seems he and my wife are way too close, dare I say intimate? I think I'm jealous.
- When I do jobs around the house, I don’t get paid. WTF! I am shocked at this injustice! How long has this been going on?
- It’s not easy to relax. Meditation and yoga and exercise are labor.
- I’m no longer the boss.
- I’m no longer the boss? Thank God! Less responsibility. Less pressure. Less stress. Amen.
Learning... It never ends
