I Don’t Golf and I Don’t Fish!

I just retired! I retired after 28 years with the postal service. I spent the first six months sitting at home in the middle of an Iowa winter and a pandemic. I am working again.

I now know what I won’t do the next time I quit working (if I quit working). I won’t sit at home with nothing to do. What will I do?

I am working again and it is better than being retired with nothing to do. I am working full-time and I am not sure that is the answer. I know I will not quit/retire from this job until I have something to do. What will I do?

I want to do a lot of things but don’t know how to do them. I don’t want to work full-time but maybe multiple part-time jobs? I like to be active an exercise but that will only occupy a few hours of each day. I like to work on the house and in the yard but only for a few hours a day. I like to read and write but only for a few hours a day. I like to play the guitar and sing but only for a few hours a day.

I won’t golf and I won’t fish!
