My first weekend as a retiree

So yesterday started as a typical Saturday for me. I made a list of all my errands and chores and started out with getting acquainted with my new gym here in Portland. But while I was doing some leg lifts, I suddenly had an epiphany - I'm retired now and there's absolutely no reason I need to cram everything into the weekend.
I want to see Divergent and The Grand Budapest Hotel but I can now go on an afternoon next week, no hurry or reason to mix with crowds. My laundry can wait until next week when the complex is quiet. I'm already trying to be "European" in my grocery shopping and plan to go every few days and procure fresher food and what I exactly need rather than the way I've always shopped in the past - a huge load that often has sugery snacks and other stuff that is duplicate or that I never use.
So I think I'll kick back until Game of Thrones Season 4 previews tonight.
