I know what you're talking about with the retirement funk! I left my job in Dec last year and pretty much sat around the house for months. Didn't get dressed most days. I'm better now but it's taken almost a year to get with it again and find a purpose other than cleaning the house. I'm over that now thank goodness!!LOL I've been trying to put my sewing room together and that helps with the funk! Good luck. The dress is beautiful!
