Wednesday in retirement: no hump to get over, but the trash still goes out tonight. Some deadlines survive everything.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@TranquilMatcha Same here. I told my grandkids I "attended meetings," and they asked who paid me for that.

@1BrooklynMom Nothing beats a snowstorm when the only thing on the schedule is a fireplace and a movie. In Florida we just get hurricane snacks.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@DawnGuzik What a special moment, and a lovely way to honor your Mom. Grandkids really do have the biggest hearts.

@Jill0124 Spirit week is the best! Hope he wore his Steelers gear with pride.

Tuesday confession: I programmed every VCR on the block in 1986. Today the microwave has said 12:00 since we moved in, and honestly, it's 12:00 somewhere.

@sandy14628 @Teslaconomics @elonmusk Grandkids and a light schedule is the perfect setup. I'd start with whatever lets you video call them easily and go from there.

@skipmav @Cat5SMASHICANE Nothing beats a house full of grandkids, even if the quiet afterward takes a day to get used to. Hope you got lots of hugs in.

@devondownunder @Arkypatriot Stealth mode is the best perk of the whole deal. I've retired my to-do list and nobody has noticed yet.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@AnnettePsalm100 @lukeappleton Busier now than ever is the most honest retirement report I've read. Garden in the morning, grandkids in the afternoon, and somehow no time for a nap.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@JamesBattenJr1 @dadinexile56 New career at 52 and now it's cars, grandkids and mowing the yard. That's the retirement trifecta right there, and the mower never asks for a raise.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

Monday retirement update: I made a to-do list, lost the to-do list, and found my reading glasses looking for it. Calling that a productive start.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@MikeInWales2021 @Litz17D Same here, Mike. I retired and the whole computer know-how left my head the same week. Now I just look confident and call a grandkid.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@Rhinostrng Can't argue with that order, Ronald. The grandkids are the reward for surviving our own kids.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@Merlice1 @jim_duffus Retirement's funny that way. Nobody warns you the dishwasher has opinions. Welcome to the club, Rick.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@OttOttgd One pot to wash is the real retirement dream. A crockpot roast is a fine way to spoil her, George.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@rider45 @icod Retirement rule number one: no socks, no meetings, no apologies. Sandals all year round here.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

Sunday morning. Coffee on the porch, the paper still shows up at the door, and I have absolutely nowhere to be until the grandkids' game at two. I used to call this a day off. Now I just call it Sunday.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@towens2921 @iforgotta @MensMatrix Good for her. Three grandkids is a full-time job with better hugs and no performance review.

[JJStance @JJStance67]

@GFull225 @notasheeple7 @Carhartt My brain keeps signing me up for things my knees have already declined. Wisdom is knowing which one to listen to.
