a day off from retired life

I made a comment to a friend a few weeks ago about Weds (at least the morning) being my day off.  She immediately chortled back "you're killing me ... a day off?  You have every day off, you're retired!"  She's right!
And she's wrong too.
At least 80% of the time... I am wondering how I ever had time to work?!!  Or maybe more specifically.. when did I find the time to PLAY?
My guess ? .... when I was working, I managed my time better to allow for the things I wanted to do in between the things I HAD to do!  I obviously did NOT get up at 8... I did NOT go to bed at midnight!  At first ... I seemed to have a lot more time.  Then, silly me.. I began volunteering,  I rejoined Sweet Adelines, I started doing some of my OWN gardening, I turned 60!!!  ALL these things affect my leisure time, as SOME of them are a LOT of work.... the fact that I volunteered or took it on by my own choice ... doesn't make it any less work!  But with all that being said ... I have a great life, albeit a little fuller than I would prefer at times.
At any rate ... I have taken up the "time off" I had for this morning by blogging ... so off to chores I go.  til next time.
