Since we have moved I truly can say I've never been more active in my entire stinkin' life.
I have an entirely new respect for people who wait until their late 60s to bust a move and move down south or anywhere. The packing, the donating, the negotiating, the this the that. We were moving professionals our entire married life. We made a fortune flipping house up north and it was a walk in the park. One little move down here at the advanced age of 64 and it almost did me in for real. I'm grateful to the Santa Barbara healthcare team that I have and the people at Leesburg Hospital who literally saved my life. I'm knocking it back a notch. I had retirement down to a science. I was built for a slower life. After getting up at 3 AM for the better part of 40 years I think I like sleeping in a bit instead of having a full plate around the clock. The aches and pains we have both had lately are just out of hand. I'm back to chilling. I wish I could just moderate my activity but it's either full steam ahead or full retirement mode. I'm not ready to take a dirt nap quite yet.
