I keep feeling like each day is Saturday

qualitygal — Wed, 23 May 2018 17:07:20 GMT

Now don't get me wrong, I have always loved Saturdays. But it's like the movie "Groundhog day". Only I don't wake up to Sonny and Cher. It could be taken as bad, but hey, Saturdays aren't bad at all.

Did some checking on the local Farmer's Markets and opening times and dates. Want to get as fresh as I can this year. Love fresh fruit. Fresh veggies are great too.

Anyone else?

@qualitygal.... are you retired? I ask because since I have been retired the days seem to just be jumbled up! lol I do love farmers markets also.

@game-on, oh yeah, I'm retired. Think that's why all my days feel like the weekend.

Lucky you, @qualitygal

I'm retired, too, and fully expected every day to feel identical, like a holiday or weekend.

But I found, to my surprise, that many weekends still felt like weekends and weekdays felt like weekdays.

I notice it more in how I adapt to things like store hours, times most people are out shopping, board meetings, and other "stuff" that connects with how people who work outside the home still use their days.

Oh, and television programs. But tv has less of an impact than I guess what I could call people moving around during the days of the week. It still feels different on the weekends.

Again, lucky you!!

DH always jokes that his week is 6 Saturdays and a Sunday. I guess it's true when I usually only dress up on a Sunday.

I have been retired for 5 years this month. My how the years have gone by! I still love doing nothing...doing what I want, when I want...eating my supper at 4pm and not 9 pm...going to bed early, getting up when I want to. No stress, no demands on my time. Yes...everyday is Saturday 😉👍. Life is 😊 good!

When I was working I always looked forward to the weekends, especially Sat. Now that I’m retired it’s the reverse. The roads, stores and parks are so crowded on weekends that’s it’s difficult to go anywhere. I look forward to Mondays when peace returns.

@cotton4me

I still work full time, but to avoid the crowds, I go food shopping at 7 AM (not a soul is in the store when they are opening at that hour) and I make sure to go to stores such as CVS or WalMart that are open 24 hours so I can make my purchases at 4 AM I'm a serious early bird and I love it.

Now I look forward to Mondays when most people are back at work, leaving stores and roads less crowded.

@cotton4me I say the same thing about seasons... When I was up north, I dreaded winter and looked forward to the warmer weather. Now that I'm in the south, winter is my favorite season! Although I'll take the summer heat here over cold winters there, I don't look forward to the heat.

That's the way I felt for the first 3 months of retirement.

My motto since retiring: "Every night is Friday and every day is Saturday." It's the best!
