What it's like to be retired during Covid

[Terrierman]

Watch netflix depressing chick flick "Away" all afternoon.

Go get mail.  Do a couple of shots of whiskey on the way down and back.

Make chicken and rice casserole.  One more shot.

Change into flannel pajama bottoms and a T shirt.  One more shot.

Get ready to steam broccolli.  One more shot.

Please God, make it disappear and soon.  My liver is begging you.

That sounds good to me.  I’d like to be able to do the shot thing but 4 years ago the neurologist at the hospital said stop drinking and smoking unless I was ready to die soon.  I wasn’t.

I'd rather be going fishing, hanging with friends, going out to do something ANYTHING, but no.  Covid. Stay hunkered down.  I hate it, but I'm doing it because I don't want to die soon, or give it to lovey to die soon either.  Have not eaten in a restaurant since freaking MARCH for crying out loud.

Man this rain is killing me, one more day to go dang it.  I didn't have much of a social schedule to begin with before the COVID hit so I'm not missing much.  Likewise, haven't been out to eat since this stuff hit, but have gotten some to go stuff.  

Last movie I watched was Road to Perdition.  As far as I know it was the only Tom Hanks movie I had not seen.  Certainly beats chick flicks.

Well I fished all day yesterday, and I can tell you that being at home, all warm & dry, in my pajamas sipping whiskey.....is living the GOOD LIFE.  

Yeah I caught fish.... but who freakin' cares!!!    Those fish would have gladly waited for a nicer day.....cuz fish are cool like that.  😊

Go fishing, deer hunting, don’t delete posts, go hiking, don’t worry about Covid

Go fishing!!!   Drive around the country lookin around.  Especially south now that it’s cold.

Well I am fishing as often as I can get away.  I have no problem with social distancing as I’m pretty anti social to begin with.  We aren’t going to restaurants either but we call ahead and pick up food once in a while.  
At least once a week my wife picks a day trip so we take off and go 200 miles or so in many different directions.
