Six Saturdays, one Sunday. Six Friday nights included.

There’s not enough time to get everything done.

Among retirees what is considered formal attire?
Tied shoelaces.

Why are retirees slow to clean out the basement, attic, or garage?

What do retirees call a long lunch?
Normal.

Why does a retiree often say he doesn't miss work, but misses the people he used to work with?
He is too polite to tell the whole truth.

Then rest in peace..... Just kidding. Sounds like you're enjoying retirement. You should.

[Larry124]

Obviously it’s an intentionally exaggerated list.
More or less.

I do have periodic bursts of satisfyingly productive activity.
But the time (begin and duration) and determinations of the purpose, necessity, and value of an activity or task is more than ever within my control.

Tax return filing preparation excepted. :crap:

The day I first realized exactly how much I really liked retirement was the day of the first snow after I retired. I awoke around the same time I always did for work and looked outside, then went back to bed, thinking, "I'm glad I'm retired and I don't have to drive to work in that."
