Getting used to the retired life, maybe

dianec42It's been a bit over a month, and retirement is finally (maybe) starting to feel bigger than a massive extra-long weekend. There are still days where we do basically nothing but play World of Warcraft and snooze on the couch; but we're moving forward on the bathroom remodel, we're planning trips, and we're getting out of the house on a fairly regular basis.
Sigh, the bathroom.... it seems like the fixtures know their days are numbered. I never got around to regrouting around the shower; so of course that's now leaking water into the basement. The toilet has gone from "you have to flush it right" to running constantly. Who knows what mayhem the sink will come up with.
The cats are healthy as little horses. The yard is presumably still there; it's under a foot of snow at the moment, with more to come. The EV is cute and zippy and somewhat less efficient when it's f---ing cold.
I still need to set up the craft room for actual sewing. Cross stitch projects and library books continue apace. Here, have some work-in-progress pics.
