Remind Me to Slap the Next Retired Person

who complains, "I need to go back to work! I am so bored!" I meet myself coming and going, wondering how I
ever worked and got other things done.  (According to my friend Chuck
if I would stop thinking, writing and googling about Christopher Sieber
--but that's another story and it only started on Tuesday evening! And I am NOT stalking him, fangio!)



This has been a week of:
Seeing and writing a review of "La Cage Aux Folles" (for sneak preview go to https://tinyurl.com/7hwjhvj to read the review)
Seeing and writing a review of "Hysteria"--see Monday post
Had to go to Allen's place and get his mail--35 minutes each way--Saturday and Wednesday

Jill and I having dinner at the St. Tropez Cafe on Tuesday (Review to be posted soon)
A trip to the Leisure Times---3 hours.

Brad,
Norman and I go to lunch at Gamaroff's, which I have reviewed before, 
for the 32 ounce prime rib--they needed to go boxes--not me--and if you
don't think that is work try eating it at one sitting-- then it is
shopping at Dollar Tree followed by food shopping at Winn-Dixie-- by the
way don't believe you buy less if you go to the supermarket after
eating.

Continue writing the 7 Decades
series--still have 5 B, 5 C and 6 A to rewrite and post plus finish the
part 6 series--hopefully I'll get to 1970 soon! LOL

Time
on the breezeway and The Point plus water my plants, add soil to some.
Don't laugh--when you have 25 houseplants it takes time.

Throw in going to see "Rock of Ages" tomorrow and then write and post a review.
Possibly go to the new Seminole Casino on Saturday while I still have the car as Allen doesn't like going to casinos.
Pick up Allen Sunday at 4:30 PM at the airport.
And
I remember I am not mentioning sleeping, eating breakfast, lunch and
dinner (besides Tuesday dinner and today's lunch), showering, taking
medicines, shaving, brushing teeth and all that everyday normal stuff
that no matter how quick you are at it takes time.

I
need to take my time with Mother Nature along with reading the paper,
doing the jumble and crossword puzzles, reading Variety, Time,
Entertainment Weekly, New Times and a book or two.

Let's
not forget commenting on blogs, answering e-mails, writing e-mails,
framing and hanging the "La Cage" Playbill. Oh yes pay bills, writing
personal letters. Take in laundry and pick it up. Watch a few TV
programs.

And then (in spite of what Chuck says) look at a few Christopher Sieber YouTubes videos doing his previous shows.
Folks,
when do I get to relax?? And how can people ever get bored?? I should
be caught up by this weekend and can return to the Decade series by
Monday.

Most of my retired friends say they don't know how they had time to work. I had one friend who was bored. She died.

Wish I could answer you--he moved from his condo--I think he has a motor home in North Florida plus a condo in Wilton Manors--last time I saw or spoke to him was Sept 1, 2010
