I am not retired yet and my week goes something like this:
Monday, roll out of bed at 5:30 a.m. get myself ready for work. Pack breakfast, usually a smoothie made from kefir and fruit, sometimes cereal, sometimes a hard boiled egg. If I have time, pack lunch as well. Work from 7:30 - 4:00. Home at 4:45. My eyes are so tired from looking at the computer screen all day that I just want to sit, relax and close my eyes for a while. Sometimes, do a dvd workout or get on my eliptical. Then, either make dinner or eat dinner hubs has made. After that, maybe go for a short car ride, a walk or whatever. Home, then watch tv, fall asleep on the couch, then bed.
The rest of the week is pretty much the same. In the summertime I am outside more when I get home, sometimes go for a bike ride.
Weekends, I am busy doing the housework that was neglected during the week or running errands that need to be done. Occasionally eat out, usually a casual, fast food type of place. There is never enough time to do all that needs to be done.
SO, I was wondering what the average week was like of people who are retired. I realize that personal preferences are going to make everyone's week different, but just interested in how you spend your time.
