How My Diet And Fitness Changed In Retirement

I was very curious when approaching retirement to see what kind of retiree I would be.

So I was simply curious. And like most things in my life, the answer seems to be: it’s complicated πŸ™‚ . Let’s get into it. Continue reading “How My Diet And Fitness Changed In Retirement”

I Recorded What I Did Every Hour For 2 Years Of Retirement: Here’s What Retirees Do All Day!

The Month Of Maine: September 2022 Recap

And just like that, it was fall πŸ™‚ . I always thought of myself as a summer girl, but given that I can soak up all of the lessening hours of sunlight instead of dreamily looking at them outside my office window, I’m coming around to this season.

So, let’s see what I got up to during this first month of fall!
