Sitting in my spa knowing all my friends and family are fit and happy. Eating an ice cream with the sounds of the birds and bees in the jasmine overhead. Just sheer bliss.
I took early retirement 15 years ago, started a new life and not looked back but omg its hard physical now, very large garden and lots of socialising but best thing I ever did.
Been ghosted a few times on this site so it's like water off a ducks back. But I did look it up and apparently people who do it have psychological problems so yes I just think I dodged that one
Worked all my life and took retirement when I moved here, but did some voluntary work that led to a little job after 2 years of that I left before I throttled the little darlings and with great respect for teachers. Retirement is not what I thought it would be, let's say its dam hard work but yes I can do what I want when I want and that I love
Like you I hate needles and I'm prone to panic attacks but im lucky because here you have a choice go to a laboratory or have it at home, because my nurse is really good for both vaccines and blood tests i have it at home. He comes in, I lay on the sofa he takes my blood and stays to make sure I'm ok and the bonus is he's young and dam good looking
Well I think it went well, I remember dropping the 3 bean salad but this morning been following a trail of cutlery that I definately don't remember dropping and it was all knives. The mind boggles.
