What do your days consist of?

A=BCD

What does your average day look like?

My perfect happy routine was shattered and I’ve not been able to find a new routine since. I no longer have the luxury of going out for a drive, something I did, regularish. At home I try to busy myself but normally I’ll do the same thing each day which isn’t a lot.

Days consist of,

Cooking, reading, looking through pictures, listening to music and cleaning. I will occasionally go shopping normally now on a Saturday when I get my drink. I have thought of volunteering but I lack the courage to do it and I don’t have the ambition since being on my own.

  • Im having a hard time adjusting to being retired. I was a teacher for 32 years and my life revolved around my job. After the students became unduly challenging because of their behavior, I quit my job. 

    1) I have not put in my retirement papers for my pension. I've been sitting on the paperwork for about 1 and 1/2 months. 

    2) I've only been out of my home once over the last 1 and 1/2 months to go grocery shopping. Since I am by nature a reclusive introvert, I have found reasons to not leave my own. Since I was a Culinary Arts instructor, I have a freezer and 2nd refrigerator in the garage along with a wall lined with shelving for canned food and dried goods. After running out of sodas, I switched to water flavored with zero sugar fruit drink mixes. Afer running out of those, I have switched to ice water. Having long since run out of fresh vegetables, I am cooking with frozen or canned vegetables. While I have a case of frozen hamburger meat, I'm down to my last package of frozen chicken thighs. I'm out of beef and pork roasts. I'm out of sausages and potates, though  have plenty of rice along with canned and dried beans. I have sufficient food supplies to live on for at least another two months albeit on an increasingly restrictive diet. 

    Instead of teaching, I spend my days writing. I have a blog and am working on a fanstasy novel. I also read books on my tablet, play strategy games on my desktop, and watch movies on YouTube and Amazon prime.

    That sounds cool!

    I'm wondering  whether to try setting up a blog for my reviews of various things. I tried to set up a Fanzine once, but u fortunately the I ternet took over, and photocopiers had a nasty way od doubling krvtriplung their prices once I found what seemed to be a good one. I used to write short stores too.

    One old friend of mine write a lot of SF even whilst still working, and has gone back to painting too now.

    I think it's important not to waste the time there now is.

    Hi Nexus11, what things do you review? I enjoy watching  or reading reviews (fountain pens, Transformers, games, books, etc being my general special interests)
