Retirement is not without Hassles: Ain’t Easy Being Me #1905

In the year 1905, Las Vegas was founded when 110 acres, in what later becomes downtown, are auctioned off. We will probably not get there in 2022 and haven’t been since the pandemic broke out in 2020. At that time, we saw Barry Manilow perform in what remains to be the last live concert we’ve attended. We still hold tickets to Santana/Earth Wind & Fire that has been cancelled multiple times along with a Jackson Browne show in Tahoe that we planned to attend. Hopefully, we’ll finally see Carlos Santana on my 71st birthday this year.

I start the year with a new Trivia Calendar that was a promotional gift from our financial advisor. This has been a tradition for many years on my office desk. Hopefully, this will be more fun than last year’s Word of the Day version. The travel and photo calendars are still my favorite – maybe next year? 

My Covid test came back negative so my scratchy  throat must be an allergy issue. I sure have struggled on my morning runs and seem to lack energy. Yesterday, I hardly moved from my chair and noticed that my ankles and feet were swollen by the end of the day. I’ll go back to wearing compression socks. I’m feeling ancient considering the hearing aids, old man socks, and frequent chiropractor visits. It ain’t easy being me.
