It's Monday, Right?
 
Since I retired 4 months ago, I've sort of lost track of time. I honestly had to think if today was Sunday or Monday. I should look for an app on my Apple Watch to clue me in. But then again, other than missing a dentist appointment or something, I don't much care. SmileWavy

I've been retired for 6 years and I have a hard time keeping track what month it is!

Evans, Marv 07-16-2018 08:27 PM

I've been retired for fourteen years now, and I have to keep track of what day it is. After all Monday is trash day.

Yep - It's Monday. I could tell because by 10am I had already dealt with enough stupid stuff at work that I wanted to just run for the hills and not look back. Enjoy retirement - I'm looking forward to it...

at age 74, I've become very aware of days of the week and time. All those medical appointments written on a calendar. See what you youngsters have to look forward to?

Been retired 14 yrs.....Quit wearing a watch about then........All I know is my wife plays Bingo on Monday's.........I count from there.....My phone is my watch, but don't always carry it....

It's what happens when retired. I look at either my phone or computer for the day.
Trash day has become the most important day to remember.
I wear a watch when I leave the house only because I like the way most of them look.
I have various leather watch bands that match different footwear and belts.
I dated a couple of fashion models earlier in life and they left their mark.
They taught me what colors to wear, also. At least I got something out of it. :confused:

Been there, done that for the last 30 years....met my out of pocket deductible every year since 1990 with multiple specialist appointment every year.

I'm still working. Every day is Monday. ;)

Just kidding. I'm one of the few people who actually likes their job. I'm fortunate to work where I do...

It's Tuesday night here and it will be Friday afternoon in a blink.

I feel like the years of my life are just melting away.

Tervuren 07-17-2018 03:20 AM

Most of the time I look forwards to Monday.

I like doing things.

Shaun @ Tru6 07-17-2018 03:34 AM

Retired for 3 years now, it's never Monday for me, every day is a fun, new day.

widgeon13 07-17-2018 04:12 AM

I just think of every day as Saturday! Works for me.:D

Give it another few months and you'll realize there's no reason to wear a watch either :cool: I did put up a wall calendar to help figure out what month it is.

After the architect next to my office retired and moved out, I called him a month later.

He said that it had been a month of Sundays.

Mike Andrew 07-17-2018 04:55 AM

Same problem with me. I had attributed it to the onset of CRS Can't Remember Sh#t).

Still wear a watch though as I feel naked without one. Eyes are beyond reading the day and date without lenses.

I was on vacation last week along with a 1000 PCA friends at Porsche Parade. I heard the phrase "what day is it" many times from different people. So that what day is is syndrome sets in really fast. My wife is retired, and I work at home running my own business. It still feels weird to go mow the yard or wash the car on a Wednesday or something. I sometimes work in the evenings and on the weekends or whenever a customer project needs attention. My time is used for what I want when I want.
My watch is a Casio Toughman. It will display the day or the day of the week so I know what day it is. Tuesdays are important. I try to eat lunch with a certain buddy every Tuesday.

Aragorn 07-18-2018 10:08 AM

It's Wednesday now...

carreradpt 07-18-2018 10:16 AM

It seems like a weekend doesn't it? Says my wife or I after 8 yrs being retired. Just cannot keep track of the days of the week w/o looking at the newspaper or my watch if I can find it. And yeah those DR appts, love this retired gig hate the getting older part of it.
