Retirement Blues

I have always been a list making goal setting diva of a worker bee person. I have taken an early retirement to help my husband with his medical condition. I am thrilled to be home with him. My accountant told me that with our retirement we should not work anymore or we will be heavily taxed. I have never been told something like this. It is not that we make an abundance of money. We live from paycheck to paycheck like many other people.

So the first month I was making to do list out the wazoo. I even took a forty minute time frame to make the hundred list. I am coming up blank. I do not have any items I am interested in purchasing. I do not want to do long projects such as quilts. I have found satisfaction in crocheting potholders this week.

I am not sure what to do with myself. Chuck has been laying up in the bed and he enjoys my company while watching tv. I have entertained myself with Dragon Merge. I have spent many hours merging stars and plants and mushrooms. I also have a sweet little town in the Klondike. I stay up till all hours of the night writing my blog and sleep in till I am cooking breakfast for dinner.

I am making a resolution. Beginning tomorrow I will get back to my old goal driven self. I will update my 100 list and I will do some form of exercise an hour a day. This will be good for me and Chuck both. I will have more to blog about.

Oh wait, tomorrow is Sunday— a day of rest. I will start Monday for sure.

Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested. I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more. I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry. I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas. I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects. I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress. Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic. If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth. Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
