I tell everyone that the best part of being retired is not hearing that alarm going off and realizing I HAVE to get up and go to work.
I still wake up about the same time, but it’s more gradual and I lie there as long as I feel like it until I’m ready to get up. (Except when I feel that urge to head to the loo.)
Me, too. Still wake up at 6:00. Then ... ahhhh...
No makeup. No panty hose. No staff meetings. No office drama. I don’t go back to sleep — just bask in the knowledge.
