Reason Number 76 To Be Lazy: Ever single

1. My #1 reason for Being Lazy

45 Years of working.

The last 15: Up at 3 a.m., out the door at 4 a.m., arrive at work at 6 a.m., leave at 4 p.m. (9 hour shift), get back home at 6 p.m. That is 14 hours of my day dedicated to working. I did that for the last 15 years. And now, when I was forced into early retirement, and I'm feeling lazy, I say: I Deserve It!!!

But dang, I really need to vacuum.

2. Almost the same:

Where we live, retirees get up at 5:30 and are always shocked we sleep to at least 8:30. Just was talking about it at Spanish class this am.....It starts at 8:30...😴

3. I'm still waking up early

I still wake up at 3 am. Even after a year. I can get back to sleep most times, but I have to put the TV on (so I don't start thinking - and I have tinnitus, so without some background noise the ringing is really bad in the morning).

Sleeping in until 6 has been the best I can do. Naps are nice too.

5. Same with that tinnitus too. Too many loud concerts in the 70's

Always have a fan on. That’s why I think people hear voices in their heads it’s so loud.

4. Yep, 45 years of the work routine made me think that is the natural order.

I felt a little guilty for awhile after I took an early retirement, but nowadays I am just grateful to put an end to that chapter of my life. I think it’s somewhat an American phenomena, we put too much of our self worth into a job. It’s really nice to have the freedom to sleep in if I want. Took me about a year to just relax and accept it. I’ve known too many people who ended up dying soon after they retired. I just feel like I’ve done my part and have earned it.
