All I had to do was decide!
I was up at six!
The driveway was fine but I decided to stay up anyway. I had breakfast, and then did about an hour of housecleaning. I needed to do this just to make the house presentable for the cleaning person. I don't understand how this works, but I stopped arguing about it years ago. The good thing is that we are giving up this luxury in the interests of financing our retirement, so probably I'll have lots more time on my hands now. If only Roo wasn't so messy!
I was on my bike by 8:30!
I'm enjoying the ride (pun intended), in a whole new way this time around. Doing 3 sessions per week, instead of four, is definitely the right balance. It allows me to put 2 days between the hard sessions. I also just love what it's doing for my cycling brain. I honestly don't know what it will translate to in terms of endurance or speed, but I am certainly getting more comfortable with a higher cadence. This is all on account of my discovery of the coaching software. We'll see what the future brings.
I was out of the house by 11:15.
There are a few Xmas related advantages to being retired, not the least of which is that I'm gonna spend a lot less money. Our children are all grown up and most of them have jobs, so they don't need stuff from us any more. That just leaves the grandchildren, and since Roo has already bought them everything they want, we don't need to spend much there either. (just kidding hon). the other advantage of course is time. I think I finished all my shopping today, and it's a month til Xmas!!
I was back home by 2:30.
And straight out to the garage to fix something. Sure enough, there were 3 separate jobs staring at me, and I got them all done to my satisfaction, and trust me, that's saying something!!
I was back in the house by 4:30.
Perhaps you can imagine my smug feeling. I felt so ahead of the game, that I sat right down and wrote this post. Time to cook up some supper! Spaghetti I think. And then relax!

Nice day, Peter. And love the quote. Any time you get bored, you can come and clean our house either before the cleaning ladies or instead of). I understand the cleaning before thing perfectly. Perhaps it's a girl thing. No post for me today. Marking beckons. And yes, the TA is doing more than I am.
