Welcome to the first installment of Angie’s Retirement
Report. I reckon this will be a regular feature
on my blog – it’s a journey, right? So here goes.

Hard to believe it’s already Day 9 of retirement. Days do speed by when you don’t get up until 9
a.m. I have enjoyed plentiful time with family,
and a run through the park on a sunny day with Spousal Unit – what more could I
want? My sense of humor is in full force
– maybe I was always too tired for my brain to produce humor. Exhibit A:
Spousal Unit: “I am going into the shower to make myself
more beautiful."
Me: “Good luck with that.”
Spousal Unit: “Can you go back to dis-engaged and exhausted?”

I am feeling rested and relaxed. As Spousal Unit has pointed out to me on
numerous occasions, I have paid my dues with hours worked over the last 28
years. Let’s do a quick calculation: assuming
an average of 45 weeks of work a year and 66 hours a week, that is 32,760 hours
more than a 40-hour week. So, even
though I have retired young by normal standards, I actually already worked the
hours that equates to another 18.2 years. What a brilliant option to invest that time in
leisurely pursuits.
“So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never
planned. Just think of happy things, and
your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land.” J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
