Act like I was retired, just like I do every day...lol

What would you do?

that's pretty much what i have, everyday, lol...but today, i'm taking laptop over to best buy...

Sleep since I am really lacking in that department lately.

I have lots of whole days to myself and I do whatever it is I please to do. Sometimes that's absolutely nothing.

Yep, on weekends...what I already do. I hike! Lay out in the sun. Haul miracle grow out to the flowers. Watch hummingbirds. Cook a BIG breakfast. Shop my favorite thrift store. Grocery shop. :0) Quality time with DH.

I'm retired, every day is a weekend day for me!

Me, too, jannie~I'm retired, every day is a weekend day for me!

Tough one. What's the weather like? Rain, like right now, go back to planning my pacific coast bicycle tour.

Sunshine, or at least no rain, tough again, ride my bike would prolly win. Need more miles before I take off for my trip. Should also work in my yard, which I actually don't consider work, as I truly love doing that.

So, today, I will vacuum, do a load of laundry, and work on the plans and website for my trip.

absolutely nothing. Day off today but I have to run to pick up medication I haven't had in over a week, pay the water and car insurance in person because my checks ran out and I'm in transition back to my old bank so I couldn't mail them in. Have lunch set up with an old co-worker today in Lexington. Had to change the appliance guy coming to fix my garbage disposal until tomorrow morning because I forgot all about the lunch.

Coming home to either pull weeds out back (if it's not raining again which it looks like it's going to) or clean out closets for the paint guy to paint them tomorrow. They only did the ceilings yesterday. I thought they were going to paint the hallway and part of the livingroom too but they didn't. I just want it done.

Probably try to catch my breath! I am constantly on the go!

I too have everyday like this...I mean I have chores and such I could do but since I am not working anymore either..I can do them if I choose too or not....now if you asked if I had money and a whole day....wow then I could answer with lots of things LOL! sTacy

I would spend it near water-either a lake or a moving stream. I would hope to have peace in my mind and heart. Satine

Probably my friend here in town and I would hit all the junk shops, the salvage yard and the antique shops. That's the morning! LOL Then eat a good lunch somewhere and maybe take in a chick movie together.

I'm having sort of one today...hubster is out of town...so I'm making noise, vacumning, washing, dishwashing, playing my music loud...now if I had a day where things were done around here I would read, watch tv, suntan, float in the pool...

I am retired and everyday is a whole day to myself. Lately I have been quilting and just letting the house and yard go. My quilt is almost finished.

Stay home and have no phone calls.

A day to myself? Be still my beating heart!

Read, knit, watch a movie, garden (leisurely!).

Lately I've had more of them than usual. Today I'm working on cleaning up the kitchen and getting ready for the new stove and refrigerator to be delivered tomorrow.

I've been sitting here for a few minutes contemplating what I'd do if I had a day to myself. No kids? No interruptions? Peace and quiet all day long? It's sounding so good, I just might try to arrange it in the next couple of months! :)

I would sleep in. I'd read in bed. I'd have a long bath, go check out a couple of thrift stores, eat lunch out.... I'd go for a nice hike somewhere quiet by the water. I'd go home and order in some Vietnamese soup for dinner. I'd read out on the deck with a big glass of wine and some jazz music. Then I'd watch a good chick flick before reading in bed some more.

Ahhhh.... I feel refreshed just having written about it! :)

I'd go to the beach early and stay late. Oh, and I don't want to cook dinner either. I'd just pick on what's in the frige. LOL

I'd love to join you msmarion. The beach is my favorite place to be.

Either read and nap (read a few chapters, fall asleep--just cuz I'm overtired recently, not cuz the book's bad!--wake and read a few more chapters, nap...), or catch up on going through my Tivo saved-tv shows/movies, alternating with catnaps.

Sometimes I try to do this (but I have to add dog walks to that), and I prepare for it by making sure there's good food in the house, all the paperwork of bill-paying is done, and forget all the other little tasks I eventually need to do in the house).

I'm at a time in my life where almost any day can be whatever I want it to be.

I like to take sleep-in days, beach days or just stay at home and read days.

I'm my own boss so chores and errands are scheduled accordingly.

I am a stay at home mom with 2 little girls, so I NEVER have a day all to myself! As my mother's day present DH took the girls to his mom's house, and gave me a few hours of peace & quiet!!

But I would enjoy & enjoy! Read my books maybe out on the deck in the sunshine, or cozy in bed, or in a hot bubble bath? Who could decide?? Do some fun errands, where I can leisurely browse, without chasing kiddos around, have a nice lunch somewhere (without the kids meals!) Maybe take a walk around the lake? Again just leisurely no worries etc!!

Sounds heavenly!

I would want to just lay in bed and be lazy all day but I know I wouldn't. I'd have to be in a hotel for that to happen!

But a whole day by myself, no kids, no distractions...who cares what I'd be doing. It's the silence I'd like!

Just sit down enjoy it..

When one's retired - every day is weekend.

Good-bye to "T G I F"!

Of course ... most of us fill the time with countless things - but they're stuff that we chose to do.

And, often, when to do it.

Complaints? Nope!
