It's not a bad Sunday for
the first Sunday in my retirement life—I just have not done
anything productive except get up and get dressed. We were going to
go out and do some shopping for groceries and other things but sort
of run out of energy as we put together our chicken salad sandwiches.
I'm glad we at least made the sandwiches from chicken we froze last
week. Was pretty happy to use the new rocker knives Dianne ordered
for me a couple weeks ago. The knives are small but I think I will
enjoy food preparation with these devices.
Interesting, the more
sleep I am getting the less clouded I am regarding my life in
retirement. I'm beginning to think of things I might be able to do
and feel excited about doing these things. Things like doing more
interview shows for the Internet. I really still want to do the
interviews: “the gimp on the street” interviews along that same
line the interviews with notable people with disabilities. I still
feel them passion with this concept people with disabilities were
just living their lives successfully, quietly but remarkably. I would
not necessarily do the” super crips” but would not necessarily
shy away from doing that interview because the individual was a
“supercrip”because oddly enough many of those I deem “ super
crip” are pretty damn interesting people. So this group of
interviews would be with people in my life. I was wondering if I
could do this with individuals for say U D D C interviewing various
individuals with developmental disabilities in Utah or develop a
similar project focusing on positive closers of U S O R clients. I
just don't know how I would sell this to the various people who would
have the money to pay for such project. Yes, I do want to charge
something for this or I want to get something out of this or project
like this. This may be I can do something for trade. I was thinking
possibly interviewing people for specific DME provider I. E. Magic
rest medical, Peterson medical, or similar operation. The just seems
to be so many places I could take this concept if I could sell the
idea to the rightful. Anyway, this thinking was enough to encourage
me into believing retirement may not be as bad as I might have
anticipated. Still, I have not really experienced retirement per se
but with it being the middle of a holiday weekend will have to see
what happens come Tuesday.
The course there is the
old standbys once the weather warms a little dries out I plan to get
back to the garage and redevelop my hook project, or put together my
best pieces of poetry and develop a book and see if I can get V S A
to publish it and finally to work on my “Burros of the Apocalypse”
project. So I have things I can do and I have the rest of my life to
do these things if I can just keep my focus. Keeping my focus now
that's what's really scary.
