<Giggles in Introvert>
If I retired tomorrow (which at 50YO isn't happening unless my wife either agreed to continue working while I became a house husband, or we made some changes to our lifestyle lol) I'd have no problem at all filling my days. There are SO many things I'd love to have the time to do that I can't even get started because there's not time to dedicate to them to see them through, or really fully enjoy them.. but the days and vacation allotments are so precious that there just never seems to be enough, despite having 6 weeks of vacation every year now, and not working weekends. As it sits now weekends are a competition between the bikes, the camper, & the backyard/pool. Full week vacations are a competition between camping, cruising, motorcycle trips, and other vacations.
First world problems, I know.
Plus, you know, introvert stuff. I can sit in my garage all day watching YouTube, or futzing with something on the bike and making a 1 hour project a 5 hour project, or siting out under the gazebo surfing, or whatever, and be totally fulfilled at the end of the day. The thought of taking off with our camper right now and going to some remote crown land hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere and staring at trees and watching the wildlife for a few weeks is stuff that fulfils me. I'd love to get back into riding horses again. Model aircraft. Boating. Travelling for more than a handful of days at a time through the summer with the camper or motorycle . The list goes on and on. SOOOO many things that just realistically need so much time to dedicate towards them that it feels like I just can't DO them because of that lack of time to dedicate.
