I woke up this morning totally believing that it was Monday....

[Jack Valentino]

First I checked my checking account, wondering why my SS deposit hadn't arrived yet,
although sometimes they are late....

then wondering why 'Story' sub-digital channel was showing biographies,
instead of military histories which they do on Monday....

Also, I was having trouble with my phone, or I thought I was....
thought it was stuck posting the date from the day before...

Took me almost an hour to realize that it was Sunday and not Monday.


Maybe I was too anxious for Monday to arrive, being my Social Security 'payday'---

or maybe I just wanted to skip the Sunday morning news-shows,
which I mostly did because I woke up too late.....???

(I especially don't wish to see little LIndsey on 'Face The Nation'
or ANY OTHER Sunday morning show EVER AGAIN, or anywhere else!!!)



Any other retirees experience ever experience this problem ??---
I suspect there ARE some....

1. Once I retired from the 5 day work week, the days of the week seemed a little loose.

I had to reorient a bit to keep track. Avoiding Lindsey Graham on Sundays seems like a good point of reference.

2. On the other hand, I enjoy aiming an empty shotgun at his face on the television---

among others.......

6. Maybe just put the shotgun away and be glad

you don't have to to wake up Monday morning and go to work?

3. One of my joys of retirement has been going to bed on Sunday night and not thinking about work on Monday.

So you got that going for you tonight at least.

4. That happens to me all the time since I retired!

Twice I ran around the house frantically getting the garbage ready to take out to the curb before the truck got here thinking it was Monday and it was actually Sunday. Last Tuesday, I thought it was Sunday. Once I thought it was Friday and it was Tuesday. Those are just a few examples.

Since I retired, I'm not really sure what day it is anymore. Oh well, there are worse things I could forget.

5. I woke up this morning thinking it was spring.

Tonight through tomorrow we're getting 5-8 inches of snow and we also are under
a blizzard warning. Yeah, I'm only 8-10 miles south of the Wisconsin state line, but
come on it's the middle of March. Oh yes, I forgot. It's going down to 7F tomorrow night.
Sorry to whine, but I am so done with winter. On the plus side I haven't put the snow
blower away yet.

[Jack Valentino]

10. It's been a long winter this time, seems like forever....

sorry you're getting clobbered over there!

[boonecreek]

13. It actually wasn't that bad.

Got about 4 inches of snow but 10 above in mid March I can live without.

7. My standing joke is that once you are retired, the only way you know...

...which day of the week it is, is by which little chamber you have to open on your 7 days-of-the-week pill organizer.

8. One of my cousins...

after seeing my problem of keeping up with the days of the week, gave me a day clock. It shows the day it big letters around the clock and keeps good time.
After seeing how often, I referred to it, she got herself one. Now, we call it 'The Retirees Clock' and I get one for all my friends who retiring knowing they will need it sooner or later.
Some of us call it the 'last clock you'll ever need''.

11. Well, my smartphone tells the day and date on one of the front panels---

which I usually look at pretty soon upon waking, to see what the 'daily nightmare' is!

I was so convinced it was Monday, I thought my phone was fouled up! LOL

[oldsoldierfadingfast]

12. Wish I had...

a smart phone, but since I can't get a signal (surrounded on all 4 sides by mountains) it does not pay.
Even if I could get a signal, I am almost totally deaf and would never hear it ring.
Even if I could hear it ring, I cannot hear what the caller is saying.
What I do have is a landline with a phone with a loud ring in every room, email and Angels in Disguise who make and take the necessary calls for me.

9. I always worked weekends and holidays

not hard for me to keep up with what day it is
