Retirement
Unofficially, I have not worked since one month ago today. Officially, my retirement began yesterday, at least according to the limber-dick cocksucker at Fidelity Investments. What that actually means is I don't get my fucking retirement month for another fucking month, which pisses me the fuck right fucking off.
That said, I have been enjoying not getting up and going to work. I'm still having to get up in the morning Monday through Friday to get Dylan up and off to school, so I've got that going for me.
Other than that, what have I been doing during retirement?
1. Volunteered for the Tulsa Parks and Recreation Gathering Place park playground, a new facility, which was sampled by invited groups of Kindergartners through Third-Graders from elementary schools in the Tulsa area.
2. Ran a 1K race. Actually ran for a whole kilometer. Got a medal for doing so. Feel special.
3. Walked a lot, as much as 4.5 miles up on Turkey "Mountain", three or four days per week.
4. Swam laps 3 to 4 days per week, now up to 800 meters nearly without stopping.
5. Took a Tai Chi class.
6. Played the piano enough that I am just about where I was at age 13.
7. Painted our bedroom.
8. Signed up to run a 4K race this Sunday.
