Right now I’m pre-tired, as in I’m basically tired all the time…so, then, what exactly is retired? “Re” means again, at least I was taught that in elementary school. So does retired mean tired again?
I’m hoping it means something different when the time does come, give or take 10 years for me personally. However, as tired as I am lately by the monotonous daily grind, I am aiming to have more energy when I finally enter the great unknown that is retirement.
I started working in 1979 when I was 14 so by 2034 I’ll have worked the better part of 55 years of my life. I can maybe slow down. Somehow I don’t think I’ll ever truly stop working in some capacity. Perhaps I’ll call my next chapter my “I’m still here but I just want to sleep until 7:30 am, slow down a bit and rest but still do stuff” years or maybe “un-tirement”. Be less tired.
Actually, that’s sounding really good and I hope to have many good years of that part of my life to enjoy!
Until then … I’ll keep on truckin’!
