New life continues

Day 3

"The road is long, with many a winding turn, that leads to who knows where"

It has been two days at home with mom. Could this be considered a "honeymoon" period? So far so good. Although she is still trying to get stuff that I like, buy stuff that I enjoy, buys the dinners out ... almost like I am still a guest. Am sure things will improve from here. Well, they have to.

Yesterday I got a bug up my keister and decided to start the "next life" - started a techno blog, started on my web page, worked on how to make myself sound more official ... I know that I KNOW the material and how to use it. I just need to make sure people that look at it believe that I do also.

Today seems a more relaxed day. Just hanging about. Watching TV. Cooking. Eating (too much of that). Checking on the phone. Wondering what my friends are up to.

I do think of my friends. I do think of my old hood. I do think of what I would be doing right now ... well, retired - I'd be home figuring out new things to do. Non-retired - I'd be at school teaching Spanish 3 and 4.

I miss the grind, I miss the schedule, I miss the daily routine. More than anything, I miss the daily routine. I must make a new routine that I can live with and that will be my new routine from now on. No one tells you much about that when you retire. Oh, there is advice, always, but not that you will miss that which you complain much about. We are funny beings us humans.

Another thing that I do miss, from home, is space ... space to move around, space to walk around ... between big furniture, extra furniture, can't get rid of furniture ...  and another human being around here, it is a squeeze in between and a let me go around this.
