forced into early retirement, moved to Portland Or. and loving every minute of it. I turn on the radio in the morning and listen to all the traffic congestion. Nowhere near as LA congestion, and I feel bad for those commuting while I'm thinking my goodness I'm glad I can just play with my cats and have a cup of chai tea.

I still have stuff in another city..of which some I will spend a few hrs., dumping paperwork.

And going through photo albums..to salvage, if I can some precious photos for scanning. Hmmmmm.

I can't buy more artwork. I have my own stuff that I made, store and display across 2 locations.

Limewave about your lack of motivation right now to draw...maybe this phase will go on for the next decade. And come back again when children are grown up.

I can't believe that I haven't read a novel in several years. My undergrad. degree is in English Literature. Most of the stuff I read now is non-fiction.

I looked back at my original comment.
I did end up joining a gym, but not the personal training/spin place I had mentioned. I joined the cheapest gym in the area, mostly for the 5:30 AM core training/circuit training class 2X a week. Otherwise, it's not that great, not a lot of classes at times convenient for me, and the people seem cliquey, although after 5 months, they talk to me now! I used to belong to a pricey, full service health club/swim/tennis place with tons of classes. It's a case of you get what you pay for. But, I don't need something like that. I need to find something else for next fall.
