Shopping for Easter dinner and cleaning the fridge are about the only "goals" I've set for today.

I love being retired!

Working till 2:30 pm, going to gym to do cardio for 40 min, picking up DD from school, going home to eat leftovers, cleaning house, doing laundry, helping DD with homework, reading with DD and then having a BIG glass of wine.

Other than putting $20 on DD's lunch account, I should not have to spend any money.

Have a great day all.

I did the morning routine and my workout, then started on what was to be a full day of more spring cleaning on this beautiful, warm Wednesday. Made it till afternoon, when one of my friends called and asked me to play tennis.She had called in sick. Well.... I have my priorities.I can clean tomorrow. It was a fun afternoon.
