Retired--Do You Ever Get Bored?
#61
I don't get bored, don't ever regret staying home. After 28 years working for lawyers as a paralegal, I love the freedom to do things on my own schedule, spend time with the people I love, pursue my hobbies, and not have to fight rush-hour traffic to get somewhere on time. Retirement is fabulous!

I am bored a lot of the time. I was forced to retire at age56 due to health issues I had worked since I was 12 yrs old so retirement was hard for me . I was a over the road trucker when I retired and was on the road usually about 330 days a year with my DH at first I managed to keep myself busy but as health continued to decline I got more and more bored I quilt as much as I want but I grow tired with that I do other crafts but usually have to force myse tp do them because of the pain in my hands I read a lot and am on my computer many hours a day. I miss having someplace to be everyday and manydays have to stay home due to health so yes I get real bored

my husband retired in 09 one year later PBGc took over and cut his pension by1,000 dollars a month. it is amazing that he can watch tv so long. I get bored. Well even with our home and cars paid off it has been tuff. I find I have to ask for help as i work 40 hrs a week and often 50hrs. So tonight to get his attention I set 3 trash cans on the on the front porch and left for work. yeap they where there when I came home. I can step over them and did. Finally he asked what they where doing there. I said I am waiting on santa to take care of them. Thick! I can wait him out.

No I never get bored! I just don't know how I had time to go to work everyday. I used to get up at 3:00AM and get home at 4:00PM. Then cook for three teenager and a husband, plus laundry , house work and once in awhile I would get to sew or crochet. Now I get up when I want to and stay up as late as I want. I make quilt tops, crochet, and make jewelry and even children's clothes. I even have time to read a book once in awhile. So as you can see no time to be bored. I'm not sure I even know what it means.
