Nice recently retired government official trying to do what’s right.

My yoga instructor said she moved. She’s going to finish the spring session but may not be back in the fall as she moved further north. I asked why she moved. She said she’s lived in this town for 7 years & wanted a change of scenery. People do that? Move for a change of scenery?

I have to admit, Memorial Day weekend isn’t as exciting now as when I was working. Three days off…the beginning of summer…weekends at the beach…barbecues. Now that I’m retired it’s just another 3 days for me. Retirement = Tough Life.

A big branch fell off from the storm. The tree is on my neighbor’s property but the branch fell on the border of our property but it looks like it’s on their side. This morning our landscaper came but didn’t touch it. This afternoon their landscaper came but didn’t touch it. Hmm.

So when we returned from vacation we found 2 bees in the garage & the Hub had 1 in his bathroom. I set up my bee and fly traps about 3 weeks ago. The fly trap has hundreds of flies. The bee trap only has 2 so far. Folks, I think the bees are smarter this season. Be careful!

There was no housekeeping services in our hotel unless we asked for it. So we used the same towels, made the bed & lived on 2 rolls of toilet paper. When we checked out, I left a small tip for the maid. Hub asked why? “She didn’t do any cleaning for us”. What would you have done?

So the last time we went away I left my engagement ring home and I worried constantly about someone braking into our home to steal it. So for this trip I took it with me. Now I constantly worry about being mugged and someone stealing it.

We’re in New Orleans. We ate dinner at a place near the hotel. We’re walking back and I tell the Hub to be careful because the ground is not in the best shape and I didn’t want him to fall. Today he got a phone call from his sister. She fell last night on the sidewalk by her home

Before I retired my Sunday nite anxiety the nite of Mothers Day was one of the worst. A great weekend, nice weather, presents, breakfast out. Then Sunday nite would arrive & it really sucked knowing I had to return to work the next day. Not anymore! But some anxiety still remains

I would love to get to the point in my life where I can bring a large wad of cash to a casino, play slot machines, and not care if I win or lose. Right now I get upset once I lose more than $40. Maybe when I’m 90 and I still have a lot of my pension left.

One of my first purchases after I retired was sports bras. I was so excited to not wear underwire push up bras anymore. My plan was to live in sports bras forever. Two years later I’m now like….Well, my boobs are starting to sag. Maybe I can find a non-sagging bra without wires?

Dreamt about my boss last nite. Not sure where we were but we needed to take a step up. He reached out his hand for me to grab onto. He had this wonderful smile as if to say; Here, let me help you. I took it and it felt good. Ofcourse in real life he was a jerk that helped no one

Went to District Taco for Cinco de Mayo. Horrible service! I know it was a busy night, but they should’ve been prepared. Time on my receipt was 7:20pm. Our food came out at 8:22. Just a chicken bowl & 2 fish tacos. And they ran out of chips. Spent too much time on online orders.

@districttaco Went to the one in Clark NJ last night. It was horrible. Time on my receipt was 7:20pm. Got the food at 8:22pm. Five young people behind the counter. No manager around. They spent most of the time preparing online orders for pickup & not for the customers in person.

So at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night, the MC was supposed to be a mentalist: Oz Pearlman. So couldn’t he predict that someone would be entering the hotel to shoot the attendees? A good mentalist would’ve seen this coming.

I’m on a train today. After the 2nd stop a gal in my car stands up & announces loudly that she smells smoke, she thinks the train is on fire & she has to get off the train ASAP. No one moves, no one panics. Next stop comes & no one gets off. Not even her. I didn’t smell anything.

So I was pretty sad that I didn’t get tickets to the 2028 Summer Olympics because all the good events were taken or prices were just too damn high. Turns out my 50th high school reunion is now scheduled for July 2028. What a strange turn of events.

[Central NJ Candy Apple @NJCandyApple]

Last nite was my assigned time to order tix to the 28 LA Olympics based on a lottery system. Opening Ceremony: sold out. Closing Ceremony: cheapest tix was $5k. Gymnastics, swimming, diving all sold out. Only sports left was cricket, archery & handball. What the heck is cricket?

I take an exercise class at a local college on Mondays. Classroom is on the 3rd floor.About 12 fit seniors take it. Got an email Friday;Class is postponed due to elevator being out of order. Seriously? We can’t take the stairs? It’s an exercise class! Or move it to the 1st floor!

Daughter & I get pedicures. Salon closes at 7. Our appt was at 6. We finish 6:40. I give my nail tech a tip. Daughter can’t find hers.She asks at front desk.Was told that Vicki left for the day, but if my daughter gives her the tip, she’ll give it to Vicki tomorrow. Believe that?

Today I had a funeral of an old coworker. She worked there for 25 years & retired in 1999. I was the only one there from the office. It was a small group even tho word spread. About 41. Came home & told the hub I’ll give him a list of who to invite to mine. I want a bigger crowd.
