How it's going so far.

 People are asking me

"How is retirement going?"

Well in all fairness I'm only two days in and am going through the "Honeymoon Phase" when I'm still on a high after the weekend and all is going swimmingly.

I'm waking up at the same time as I usually would for school, but the feeling that I don't have to get up is priceless.

The first time it really struck me was when I realised that I could make pancakes for breakfast....on a Tuesday! happy days.

So I dug out my Operation Transformation recipe for Cinnamon and Yogurt pancakes with fruit and honey and sat down and savoured every single morsel. 

No horsing Weetabix into me as I raced out the door.

Feeling all relaxed I headed to the sitting room to look at a bit of Ireland AM, another thing I could never do. I sat down and was immediately presented with an item on ....Chair feckin' Aerobics.

Now I know its great and so important, but I am just peeved that every article I look at about 

Things to Do in Retirement has chair aerobics at the top. I know that sometime down the line I will be hard pressed to do chair aerobics but not just yet. I just feel it's wrecking my buzz and draining my enthusiasm when I see it.

Then a horrible thought struck me.

"Is this the universe's way of telling me to cop the feck on to myself?"
