The Truth about Retirement

I have it figured out now. People retire because the aging process means it takes longer to do everything. Because it takes longer to do everything as we age, people just run out of time and can no longer work because home and personal necessities take more time. There is just not enough time to work. Those who work into their old age are skipping the other responsibilities. I knew it was going to take a month to do my bedroom! Even with a holiday week-end, there is not enough time. I had the great pleasure of dropping my spackle container while I was spackling the ceiling. The container split which means it goes to the trash. Such a waste. It was a large container from the great closet/pantry adventure. Hopefully my bedroom will be the last home improvement project for a few years. BTW - true to form - my chosen wall colors in the bedroom are Southern Breeze and Mystical Sea (shades of green) . Perhaps when the bedroom is done I can give up home improvement until I retire...unless I find a way to get everything else done more quickly.
