Always a day late and a dollar short. 😉
Here are Cee’s Share Your World questions and my answers for this week.
What do you do when you’re not working? If you are retired, what do you do that is not part of your regular daytime routine?
I haven’t worked a ‘real’ job since I moved to Canada almost 17 years ago. A long time. Now I’m close to retirement age. In fact, I will be officially retired after September when I turn 62. Whew, that seems like a big number in age. I don’t feel any older than I did when I was 32. Eh, we all get to this age at one point if we are lucky. For the last four or five years, I’ve been taking care of the husband who is sickly. That will continue. So really, nothing is different or not part of a regular routine.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
Ah, my favorite fantasy. The first thing I would do is help some friends that need help. I would go visit them and give them the gift of relieving their financial nightmares. Then I would build me my cabin in some woods with a wild garden and enjoy life for a change. They say money doesn’t buy happiness but I say let me be the judge of that. 😉
What makes you laugh the most?
My dog Sam. Really. He’s a funny pup and makes me laugh every day, even if I don’t feel like it. He’s a goof with a giant heart. My friends make me laugh too. I’m lucky in that I pick some really funny and kind-hearted people as friends. Sometimes I wonder why they pick me as I’m not all that funny.
What is your biggest pet peeve with modern technology?
That it’s sometimes smarter than me. LOL
There you go, folks. Exciting stuff, eh? How’s your week going?
Thanks so much for sharing this week.

We all need a Sam. (and we all worry items of modern technology are seeing through our facade of understanding and superiority. HAHA)

I hope Sam performs a couple of extra tricks for you…it’s good to laugh 🙂 Dylan was with us today on a trip to Orlando and he was too funny when commenting that he didn’t want to sit in the back seat…dogs give us so much joy. Many hugs!

All animals are a joy in their own way but dogs do seem to have an extra knack for it. 🙂 Thanks Tiny ❤

I was “retired” early too, Jackie. I’ve got 7 years on you and I feel every one of them. Winning the lottery is something I don’t even fantasize about. But like you, I would want to help out so many people. There are just too many in the world having a hard time financially and physically. I guess it’s all part of the plan. Ready for that to change. Hope you have a good week. I’m not getting notifications from WP so I’m hunting down my blogs in the reader. Not fun.

Sorry WP is giving you trouble. I had that problem a few weeks ago and then I couldn’t get my comment section to work right. It all straightened out somehow. Hope yours does too. Getting old is not for sissies. Big hugs my friend.

A toast to Sam! 😀
Although I’m retired, I work part-time at a golf course …. but actually more hours than I really want. I’ll finish the season, then re-evaluate.
