To Retirement and Back ~
Category: Zuzu's Homefront Blog | Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2007 11:28 pm The holidays have provided hubby and me with a sort of preview into how we get along with lots of leisure time on our hands. We both took off 2 entire weeks. Well, I'm not bragging, but if this has been any indication, we just might be alright when the time comes. 
Of course  , the fact that we didn't schedule any
major projects into our holiday vacation may have had a little something to do with it . . . yes, I'm sure of it. As much as we love each other, we both have our own ideas of how goals can best be achieved. Ideas that can tend to be rather firmly held . . . not to say inflexible . . . and often, friction and frustration are the outcome. Neither of us lacks self-assuredness or endurance, and we have been known to come to a dead stop on a project rather than give ground. We lived with a raw-cut edge of carpet in the bedroom doorway for over 17 years before a mutually agreeable threshhold was purchased and installed.  Try to imagine rhinos equiped with porcupine quills.
Considering our personalities, our conflict resolution skills are, perhaps, just a teensy bit underdeveloped. 
Oh, what am I worried about? We've both become accustomed to regular meals and a roof over our heads. We'll NEVER be able to retire! Last edited: Fri Jan 05, 2007 2:22 am This blog entry has been viewed 154 times

Ian retires in, hopefully, 4 years time at the age of 58. The poor man doesn't know what he's letting himself in for. He thinks he works hard just now - just wait until I get my hands on him!!!!! LOL
Omigod, it sounds just like life at our house. And with Donna working at home the two rhinos can be a bit prickly at times......and make loud rhino roars about how things could *best* be done.
We have worked on several big projects together over the last 10 years and we basically are still talking civily to each other when the tools are put up. That's not saying there are no "discussions" going on during the project, but we do seem to be able to get things worked out.
Oh gosh, Richard and I can never do anything without an argument. Of course, it is not sweet little old me's fault. LOL
Johnny and I did fairly good together as a team.We owned and operated Johnny and Glenda's B-B-Que House.We did quiet well .We threw papers to gether after we sold the business so we were ok .Its just not good to work that close.If one dies the other one is just lost without the other one.
Hubby and I do fine together after working with each other for 33 years 24/7 just don't ask us to hang art in the house together LOL
Lucky for me my hubby is slightly afraid of my "artistic tempermant." As a result we work very well together....though he does call me a "slave driver" upon occasion. Who-little ole me?
We retired and changed it into one hobby after the other. Each his own - if not completely then devide it. I have never worked so hard for so little money. The advantage is that I have never worked for such a loveable, wise, friendly boss.... like me. Login or register to leave a comment. |
