What Is Sum1 Up To Today?

Just Another Day At Home

Just Another Day At Home

         Well, I think I've adjusted to retired life, something I'm pretty happy about.  I love knowing I don't have to worry about where I'm off to next, who's my customer and what am I teaching this week.  Do I miss it?  You bet.  Then again, I don't, as I mentioned first thing.  I do miss the travel, meeting people (students), as well as possibly meeting people from WDC.  So yes, I do miss it.  What I don't miss though, is the exhaustion of travel, travel, travel.  Yes, I'd love to still travel quite a bit, there are so many places I haven't been.  But it's no fun when it exhausts you.  I have always said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."  This applies to anything you're doing in life.  So if I can't travel and enjoy it, then stop.  Yep, it got to where it wasn't that much fun anymore.  So, I got out of the kitchen.

         I had plans for today too.  I do a lot of work around our house because... it just needs done.  I wanted to vacuum today, the living room and hallway really need it.  Why?  In one word, Dogs.  Buddy, our Akita, is shedding.  So him lying on the floor leaves hair around.  I did wash dishes, folded clothes, just chores that needed to be done.  No, I'm not a slave here.  I just see things that need done, and do it.  The Navy made me this way, I accept it gladly.  I did this in both houses I lived in, in the Chicago area.  Some people are more apt to do what needs to be done that others.  Don't get me wrong, I'm no clean freak.  Those dishes had been in the sink for 2-3 days.  The wash had been in the basket for 4-5 days.  So while they were done, those chores waited a while too.  Some of you live alone.  If you don't do it, it doesn't get done.  Nuff' said.

         An inspector from the company that installed our Siump Pump & System a couple of years ago came by today.  We spent about an hour in the basement checking the system.  Everything was A-OK.  So all in all, a productive day for me.  Tomorrow's another day, we'll see what it brings!
