It's been about a month since I retired and actually it still feels like a real long vacation.  I think my hypertension has improved, I sure know I feel better than when I was working.  I get to the gym 3 times a week for a relativly decent workout, I think I eat less as I am down to 2 and 1/2 meals a day.  That is Breakfast and dinner, sometimes I skip lunch or eat a very light one. It may be the heat but just not as hungry as when working. Really don't miss the stress.  I wonder how I ever had time to actually go to work as I am busy busy busy.  Get up, go to the gym or light treatment, get Sara up and going then I have the afternoon off. Watch her and read or there is always TV.  It has been too hot for the range but I am ready to go at the drop of a hat. Really all in  all I am having a really good time.  When it cools off I am going to fix some small stuff around the house, nothing major but irritating. That should be good for a week's project.  I have some lathe projects in mind and that should really help during the winter.  All for now. Next time the muse bestirs me I'll write again.
