Sunday, Sunday can't beat this day... la,la,la ...

You do know that everyone that you say TGIF to always welcomes those feelings of what may come of the weekend i.e. its anticipation I would think, which to some who may have already made some plans and others that enjoy just going with the flow and the surprise of whatever the end of the week may bring for them personally. Although, you do all know that in actuality Saturday is considered the last day of the week and that in reality Sunday is the first.

And so being one who occasionally takes joy in bursting people’s bubbles, nah not really that would be way too evil and mean and I would never ever do that, but I will elaborate, since when I worked in the retail field we worked seven days a week! The only time I had Sundays off was when I worked in a town who still maintained the ‘Blue Laws’ (closed on Sundays for religious purposes) for six years of my working career or when we had one Sunday off a month in our restaurant business when we finally hired a manager who we eventually had to fire since he was stealing from us, oh well…trust is a weird two way streak, huh?
And weekends were for more customers to come and eat or shop!
Real-estate too is a seven days a week business, and to be honest there isn’t many fields of business besides office workers who I can think of actually work only nine to five, lawyers’ offices and courts are closed weekends, as so are doctors’ offices and the like that I can only think of. And so why would we say TGIF in this day and age?
When the truth is by far and in the majority we Americans are hard working souls.

So it stands to reason that most enjoy looking forward to their retirement.
By the time you get there and have figured out if you will have enough saved to keep you going in the lifestyle that you have become accustomed to without working your butts off anymore, you could be either quite old or sick and tired!
And so even though so many plan to relax at a certain age they ruin it for themselves by expecting it to be other than what it should be…and what is that you are all wondering?
Why my friends it means the time to truly relax and take it easy and that also means not worrying about this or that!
When you are younger and enjoying all that life has to offer traveling here there and everywhere and doing things that you only thought were in your dreams; dear peeps I truly believe that’s the best time for it all and its when I did almost all of that!
Before I married I had been to eight countries and forty states, and before and during I worked in all different fields of enjoyment for me and to be honest to this day I feel like I missed nothing!
And that is when you know that you’re ready to relax and turn all those TGIF’s into TGIW’s, yes each week is now in your master plan to enjoy and look forward to and not just pray for TGIF to come soon as possible, so you can do what you as an individual, not a worker, owner or anything but you by definition your very own self that you own all your time and its not salable for any price!
What a stress proof joy to behold!
And well worth the hustles and bustles and joy of finally getting there.
But some of us found out that retiring is not for sissies some of us have medical issues that have caused us to slow down and realize lesser dreams to go on… but when you live already in paradise and you have all your needs met why be upset or miserable in any way? And so being the realist that I am personally I accept my challenges as just a new and different way to handle life and try hard not to make them into more than they actually are. Finding new ways to do things is not boring by any means. And being able to still voice my opinions and complaints on this medium is rather exhilarating!

And do you know something I just acquired another follower on this Blog of my very own and I am thanking her very sincerely right now for taking that plunge into the black hole that I call my life!
You are a true brave soul, Brava!

‘Opinions are us’; I should have named this thing.
But I didn’t and little did I know at the time how often I would go off topic of my actual ‘day in my life’, which would be way too boring to constantly divulge.
How do I know this you ask?
Well, to be righteously honestly on target I do, on occasion, feel the necessity to stay on track with moment to moment accountings of my day’s movements and reaction to that has not been overwhelming, but to be honest I haven’t gotten too much feedback at all from what I write. I do notify people I mention with a head’s up when I do, but I don’t mention anyone by name; wouldn’t want them to feel embarrassed or anything like that!
Sadly not only do I bore the pants off my readership I do also bore myself at times!
So why continue; you all must be wondering? Simply it’s become a nasty habit.

Any-who…
Most of this afternoon it has been raining so I suppose you could say how normal for Southwest Florida to have in the rainy season!
See, boring.
Gosh, I am good at writing about nothing!
When tonight’s Blah oh that should be Blog is done I will have written over a thousand words, ha, guess I made up for last night’s shorty!

On that rude awakening of mine and totally nonsensical offering (Tomorrow I will hope to be much more entertaining, must be the rain causing this, huh? Oh that’s another thing… when you’re retired you have a tendency to make up things! Now some might think it’s the beginning of dementia but I would like to think it’s all the time you’ve got on your hands to be more creative!)), got you all I will wish you all a very happy night and to all count those blessings and so will we!
