I retired 5 years ago, and I am loving it. I get up about 7, drink coffee while watching the weather channel, do whatever cleaning ( like a clean house) and laundry needs done, then head to my sewing room. I also belong to 2 quilting groups ( not guilds) I have more time to spend with my daughters, too. I spend anywhere from 4 to 8 hours in my sewing room daily. Have never been bored in my life, been quilting since the mid 70's and loved every minute of it. Never enough hours in the day..
