I have been retired about 15 years now and some days I do nothing and some days I accomplish a lot. I belong to a Historical Society, small Quilt Guild and wonder how I ever found time to work. Don't get enough time to spend quilting that's for sure, too many other things take over. Enjoy going with DH as so many years he worked away from home for long periods of time, so enjoy our time together.
When I retired someone asked me what I was going to do and I laughed and said I hoped to have a cleaner house than I had while I was working===well that turned into a joke. If someone say go, I beat them to the door and forget the housework it will wait until tomorrow and if I am not around someoe else can do it. I intend to have fun for as long as I am able. Had serious heart surgery this past February and that slowed me down some, but still go and enjoy life. When I first retired I went at everything a mile a minute and hubby kept saying you have tomorrow to do some of that. Believe me he should never have said that, as I put a lot of things off until tomorrow or even the next day.
So just go with the flow and see how you like it. I missed the people contact and still do, but tworking days and nights (was on call 24 hrs a day) so everytime I thought about going back to work even part-time, I would think I have to get up of a morning maybe every day and then try to get my work done again when I come home and that cooled my enthusiasm for returning to work very quickly. As others have said go out to lunch with others when you can and just enjoy doing what you want to do when you want to do it. Retirement is great!
