It's cool and foggy on this Tuesday morning and I am enjoying my morning coffee and quiet time indoors today. It's a nice warm feeling after sleeping on the deck and waking up to the damp air and water dripping down the deck screens.
It will warm up nicely today and I am looking forward to going to the Springfield Cardinals baseball game tonight. I generally go to the games by myself, but tonight I will be with some of the other chaplains from Mercy Hospital.
I have to get my 2-3 hours of yard work today. I should probably do more, but I find that around three hours per day is enough to give me something to do every day but keeps me from getting tired of always doing work in the flowerbeds, garden, and yard. I generally do a bit more on mowing days, but sitting on the mower isn't really work; it just takes time.
I am one month away from my 65th birthday.
I am really not very active and have become comfortable with my inactivity. The gardening stuff in the spring and summer helps a lot, but doesn't really make up for the fall and winter inactivity. I should get back to the habit of long daily walks. Today, I might use the push mower for the yard area around the house. Once I logged three miles doing the walking/mowing together. It will take longer to use the push mower this time since the spring rains have really caused the grass to grow and I'm a little late at getting to it.
No worries. Time is something I have plenty of.
The fog is burning off and the day is going to be sunny and warm. I might put in a little extra time today and then take tomorrow off and go to the SGF Cards day game.
I'll say it again -- Retirement does not suck!
John
