I am in the same camp as you and I think most people will be as well. We all have heard about the person who retired with no hobbies and no purpose who just drinks beer and watches TV all day. This i think is more rare than this article suggests. I also think the younger you are the easier the switch would be because you would have less time for a job to break your spirit.

I have found that purposely working less and caring less has allowed other interests to grow.

I like all of Mythic Quest but there are a few that are standouts. The bottle episodes are the best to be honest

West End Girl by Lily Allen

And some women are scared to say “No” or told they should say “No”. Invite the No when you ask

Have a shrub. It’s flavor infused apple cider vinegar and sparkling water. You can buy or make the vinegar and just use other flavors and sweetened for the bubbles

Great recommendations. I have read at least a few of them already. Adding them to my library list

Love my kitchen scale. Even a cheap simple once is amazing

I have no self control but I know this. So if its in the house I will eat it. Don’t buy it or hide it

The second season had some episodes. I enjoyed the play based on COVID and when it was college admission week.

I enjoyed it. It was funny and talk about some issues in interesting ways. Not the best TV show about teachers (Abbot Elementary takes that crown) on TV but worth a watch

Pure comedy gold

They are good simple enjoyable “beach reads”. I might through them again as my wintertime read

It’s been great so far I am going to read some more from her

I think at this point democrats needs move away from the ACA and push for single payer. I would love to see republicans do a 180 and support the ACA marketplaces (which were a conservative idea to begin with) instead of the larger single payer.

I am reading (maybe re-reading) The House of the Spirits. A friend said we read it in high school and I do remember reading One Hundred Years of Solitude in highschool as part of a magical realism unit but I can’t really remember if I did the House of the Spirits. Its great and I can’t put it down.

Its a classic that is worth reading

I keep going back to read more of The Dreden Files and forgetting where I was before. I am guessing if you have read 14 books its worth to keep going back. I think I went up to Blood Rites

Yoga. I started doing some distance running and besides learning to run in the correct zone so I am not maxing out my body everytime I have been doing this Post Run Yoga after most runs. It really helps and allows me to cool down and stretch well. The rest of her videos also rock

Try straw or hay. Its wonderful but last way less long.
