31 days

Thirty one days until retirement. I wonder how long it will take for my back to feel better; for the muscles in my back, knotted from years of carrying a mailbag, to relax. Or for the cramps in my calves that occur when I stretch my legs. I'm looking forward to it. I'm trying to formulate a post retirement routine. Coffee or tea in the morning out under the maple tree, breakfast with Dorothy, working on a project (gardening, painting, remodeling, eBay, etc.) until lunch, then a nap, maybe watch a movie in the afternoon, then after dinner, reading and writing this blog until bedtime. That's a regimen that appeals to me. I can't wait.
