I had a major epiphany today

Transcript

I discovered today that I unlocked a new life skill in retirement. If you can relate to this, you'll know what I'm talking about. I no longer need to tag up when I'm out doing things. Some people call it touching base. Some people call it touching home. It's like if you and your wife say, hey, we're going to go hit Target. And in your mind, you're like, we're going to go to Target. We're going to come home. And if you're out and she says, oh, do you want to swing by the grocery? In your mind, you're like, no, no, we have to go tag up before we can go back out to the grocery. Like, I would drive past the grocery just so I could go home, tag up, and then drive back out to the grocery. I don't know why. I just needed to. And I've noticed now that since I've retired, I'll do all kinds of multiple things while I'm out. I don't feel like I need to tag up after every single thing that I do. And I don't know if anybody else experienced this before retirement. Or experienced this new freedom after. But I got to tell you, it's pretty awesome. I literally stopped to get some orange juice on the way home from an appointment today. And I had this epiphany because normally I would have had to go home, reset, then drive to the grocery store to pick up the orange juice. Which is ridiculous, I know. But here we are.
