Have you ever skipped a day (or a week)? - Page 3

Oh, that's another thing, @qualitygal

The wearing of watches. I found I hardly ever need one now, except maybe for board meetings, now that I'm retired.

I fell into the mindset that QVC's master saleswoman LR kept telling us, that we need to be watch collectors! So over the years I dutifully bought the cute, pretty, inexpensive ones that caught my eye and happily wore them to work.

Now that I'm not working, it no longer seems important to "finish" an outfit with a watch.

When I do wear one, I usually default to the Judith Ripka rectangular face, zero bling, quilted leather strap in beige, stainless steel, normal buckle. I don't think QVC offers it any longer. It goes with everything.

It seems as though time is going faster now but I know that is impossible. A day seems to go by like a half a day, months feel like weeks now and sometimes I have to stop and think what year it is because years just speed by much faster to me than they did before!

We are retired and one might think time would go slower!!

Oh yes, especially since I retired.

Oh yes! I remember when 'old people' would say things like how fast time goes as you get older. Of course we would just pshaw it off like 'oh goodness...the things old people say'.

Then you're living it!

Now that I am retired I make sure that I look at the calendar daily.

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

I have skipped a day.....but not a week.

Thinking about it (yes, I do think too much!), I can kind of see the missing week thing. How many times it's been like the beginning of a new year and then *BAM* it's May!

That's more than a week, but I do it a lot within a given month where it seems like the month just started and now it's in the 3rd week.

A day yes, but never a week yet. Especially since retirement.

I keep asking my husband what day is it. Since Sunday. He just looks at me ?

(2nd post on this thread) I keep a huge calendar marked up with all my g-kids sports events (I attend all), plus some of my own things. I call it "my schedule". For awhile I even kept 2 calendars, 1 just for the g-kids & 1 for me. Now I mostly keep all on their calendar. I never know when they are going to change things up on me, & I need to know their schedule when planning my own. Then there are days when I don't have to pick them up, & nothing on their schedule, that I might sleep the entire day. I have to rest up for them,lol....
