On the seventh day HE rested,,your turn will come
I've often said I don't know how I got anything done when I was working, as busy as I am now in retirement.

When I get to retire, I hope to be able to say the same thing about it that my dad always said. He said...
"I'm so busy that I don't know how I ever found time to hold a full-time job.... BUT I don't do a damned thing I don't WANT to do!"
That sounds perfect to me. Stay busy doing exactly what you want to do and not another thing...

When I retired 12 years ago I told my wife that if I didn't take my daily nap they would not send my monthly retirement check out. Been working pretty good so far. When I started getting my Social Security check two years ago just to be safe I started taking two naps a day.
I love retirement.

I'm retired 20 years and I'm constantly busy. I shoot maybe once a week, reload, play the guitar, build furniture, do genealogy research, do handyman chores for friends and neighbors, belong to a model railroad club and do freelance guitar repair and setups. I also do occasional expert witness work on firearm related accidents.
Naps? Ain't got no time for no stinkin' naps!

It was great to read that! My Dad said the same thing. Your post put a smile on my face this morning.

You're doing it wrong. The only reason to miss a nap is if you're out hunting or fishing all day.

Let me guess. You told your wife you retired, didn't you?
My plan is to get up everyday, dress nicely, pack my lunch and leave the house promptly at 7. I'll then come home at 6 and whine about my boss, stress and general work issues. I'm hoping I can get 6 months of "me" time before she figures it out and starts helping me plan my days.

OP
She's gonna get suspicious when she sees you loading range gear and fishing equipment in the trunk. Besides, I always left for work 0430 hrs. I ain't agettin' up before dawn, especially when it's cold outside.

RETIREMENT
You just now realized how long you let the honeydo list get? Don't worry it get's much longer. Relax, take your watch off, only shave 2-3 times a week, spend more time at the range/ reloading bench/ with the dogs & the wife.

That might work for a while until she call's you at work one day to stop on your way home, to pick up a loaf of bread.
Yea, got that covered (and well tested :=). Since my job requires me to be in the lab, meetings and/ or out in the field regularly, I tell her she needs to text me such things and I'll return them when I can.
The big problem I'm going to have is explaining away the suntan.
I'm going to need to join an indoor range.
