If you never had to work again, how would you spend your days?

[humbugaboo]

I’m wondering if a life of not working is really all it’s cracked up to be? I think with time you can probably end up just binge watching TV shows and napping.

Volunteering, probably filling the gaps in social services and in schools, studying, travelling, eating chocolate, napping, picking up random street rubbish like my retired neighbour. 😄 Visiting the elderly and infirm.

Mainly:
Playing the piano & flute
Cooking

Plus some:
Gardening
Playing tennis
Embroidery

Welcome to my world!

I now enjoy 2 leisurely coffees when I get up. I read more. I love a jigsaw. I spend more time with friends. I spend more time with family. I always have some embroidery on the go. I love shopping (off shopping in a moment, just to browse really and soak up the festive atmosphere). I play on a very successful pub team quiz. DH and I go away for more weekends. I did Couch25K earlier this year with DD2, really loved it, and just started running again. I love that I can be much more spontaneous nowadays.

Pottering. Pottering. Pottering (and yes, maybe the occasional nap. I take Tamoxifen and it can make you tired).

I absolutely bloody love my life ❤️❤️❤️

I recognise this. I work only PT now. Today I was heading back form Christmas shopping, – heavy bags, standing at a cold bus stop – and a feeling of complete peace and contentment passed through me. I just felt so chilled and unstressed and glad to be alive. I think it's because my time is my own now. DC are at uni, work is PT. DH and I get on. Life feels veru peaceful and pleasurable right now.

Knitting, crochet, crafting, singing group, lunch with friends, stare into space, reading... too much to do to go to work!
