January post

Hard to believe it is mid-January already! Where did the last 2 weeks go? I guess part of it is the fact that I am not working right now. Days kind of blend into each other. I understand now why my dad would always 'X' off the calendar days. Helped him to know what day it was! At the time, I wondered why he wouldn't know that. Now I do. 

Retirement can be a very active life, or a sedimentary one! It's our choice. We have the time! However, for me, since working all the time, most of my life, I find being 'at home' very cathartic! I love my little home. I love my little work desk and all the papers and files that surround me. Perhaps that is an indication that I miss work! I don't know. But I enjoy being able to simply 'putz'. It does not mean that I have to accomplish anything (and I often don't). But it means I can do 'a little of this' and a 'little of that'! I like it. 

Sometimes, however, I will think to myself that I SHOULD DO MORE. Not sure what that MORE looks like. But I should DO it!! 

Today, I have scheduled some ironing and some emails to make my day more productive. We'll see if that works!

Yesterday we went trailer shopping - only window shopping really - at the RV Wars year-end trailer sale with our friends. Out of a RONA-sized show room, we found ONE trailer that suited us the most - even it had a few flaws. Who can afford those huge trailers? and why would you spend that much $$ to go camping?!! Anyway, we did not buy!! We postponed any selection till we go to the RV sale in February. Maybe they will have something new for 2017! Doubt we will buy but it's a nice 'day out'!! So far, nothing has outdone our little trailer (thank goodness)!!
