I have told everyone that for the first six months if they call me up and ask me to do something, the answer will be "no." Not if it's just to be a warm body someplace like check in runners for a charitable 5k or something. But anything with actual ongoing responsibilities will be turned down. My job the first six months is to be retired. Then I'll figure out how to fill in around the edges of that. And maybe I'll be doing enough that I don't need to do any filling at all.
Congrats indeed! I'm only temporarily retired (I think!) and that is exactly what I'm doing -- every good or exciting idea that comes to me or that someone suggests goes into a spreadsheet so I don't forget about it, and then is promptly ignored. This is the rest / relax / brainstorm phase. Just trying to become human again after so many years of stress. I'll start thinking seriously about next steps when it starts to get warm out again.
Well done.
And what kind of horse training did you do, by the way? I was never a huge fan of the races, but my dad was, so I grew up going to Laurel and Pimlico every weekend, and even to Freestate on some weeknights. Dad even owned part of a thoroughbred for a couple of years.
