it's Saturday!

so what's so important that it's saturday?   i'm off! and it's the beginning of having every weekend off from work after 20yrs of working them   i can now watch all the sports i desire, especially football    not that i will watch every sporting event, but it's sooo nice to have the opportunity :-)....Tjnya and Cindy are harassing me Big time now that i'm retired   envy i think...lol   but who wouldn't be    it's like i've done everything a little backwards    i've been wanting to attend college full time since i graduated high school only to be forced out on my own and get a job    granted my choice to join the Air Force was a great decision, it's just i've been working for the govt ever since age 18 minus a couple years    the first couple days of retirement i was in shock, literally    finally sinking in, i'm happy as ever as i can remember    now i can finally go to school, travel, adventure and continue my life long learning   i may become a professional student    i love learning and i love school   there is life out there after 40....

well last nite was an adventure first in many, many years    i woke at midnight after 4hrs sleep and couldn't get back to sleep until 6am this morn    after writing a few entries in this journal, i took a sleeping pill and went to bed    however it didn't work for awhile   so finally at 4:30am i went shopping    yep, i went to Walmart    i had to do some shopping there anyways so what the heck    and it took no time since there were only a handful of people there    great time to shop Walmart in the middle of the night    will do my grocery shopping there at those late hours, but preferably before midnight     yesterday i didn't do much but by the time 8pm rolled around i was dead tired    and nothing much is nothing much compared to my grueling days at the p.o.    kyle and i hung my prints on my walls yesterday    i waited on the arrival of the comcast guy    we then headed for dinner    went to the p.o. to mail my rent check   came home and it was time for bed     well now i Know, i must get my daily exercise in so i can sleep at night    starting today i will begin hiking at least 5times a week   mon-fri Jimmy and i will take a hike right down the road from here    today will be our first day and it'll be short    there's a cold, cold winter wind blowin and now that i don't have to be out in the blistering cold, i won't for too long    and once my retirement money comes in, i'm joining a gym too    maybe i'll buy another bicycle, something i used to thoroughly enjoy    once i exercise in the morn, i'll be coming home to study   again once my retirement money rolls in i'm immediately signing up for school    in the meantime, i still have some boxes to unpack, mostly books, once i get some bookshelves (i had built in bookshelves at my house)    o yes, did i tell you i found this Beautiful roll top desk that is a computer desk as well....i'm all excited of what's to come....

tonite Cindy is coming over to check out my new place and we're opening a wonderful bottle of wine    i finally made to Outback Steakhouse for dinner one nite with Cindy's company    we were celebrating her birthday and me selling my house    since i've never been there, thought i'd order a glass of Australian wine   Black Opal Cabernet   delicious!   so much so we went to Cost Plus Imports looking for a bottle of it with success    it is also the first wine that has ever stuck with Cindy    i highly recommend it to everyone    we've decided to try out a new restraunt once a month to be out and about    some new some old, but just go.....

anyways, Life is Good!
