I thought I would be bored when I retired. Now I am in sort of a "routine" vs. a schedule. Three mornings a week I go to the gym. One morning a week I have a very fun and very easy part time job. The rest of the time is filled by whatever strikes my fancy. Sometimes I have lunch with friends, most times not. Sometimes I run errands, sometimes not. Sometimes I feel like cooking, but not always. Hubby is happy with anything I put in front of him. I can tell you that Sundays have a whole new meaning, knowing that there is no job to go to on Monday. have fun with it and see where it takes you. You might be surprised.
