4. I must be busy all day. Internet, chores, painting, exercise

(two types),podcast chat. In the evening I crochet while watching movies.
I have never adjusted to retirement.
I have to have the 9-5 part of my day fully engaged.
Even when I'm on the internet I've taken to lifting hand weights with my non typing hand.

As Jimmy Cagney would say "Its just the kind of hairpin I am!"
