Retirement means...

Well, it does mean that you got off the hamster wheel of normal life, and have lots of time for one's own stuff. So I have been reading, and that is better than FarmVille ForEver. Still I find I need an internal Drill Sergeant to ensure that everyday I am doing all those things I need to get done to be a better fellow. Yesterday I found my mind gone, I was looking for a bottle of Crestor pills I had just picked up. I was looking for the old type bottle, and didn't look for the label. By the end of a frazzled day looking I read the labels and found that it was all where it should have been.

Today my weight is 226 pounds, that is too much, I will have to seriously work on it and the schedule of my life today - otherwise nothing good is going to happen. The blood pressure is 127/87 with a heart rate of 42 bpm, and I am smiling.

No One misses my efforts except me...

My mind drives the body to the recliner, the television and the computer seem to have my daily fix just waiting my attention. So of course I am falling into fat sloth-like hanging around waiting for the leopard to find me and be hungry enough to climb up after me. Seems like I lack discipline, doing the right thing when no one save self is watching.

Okay, woke at seven or so and began today.
