adoring retirement

Spontaneous me adores retirement
Daily I resolve to make no plans
I do not get into a car, I drive nowhere
My husband loves to shop, so he does the shopping

I do not do the laundry
I do not vacuum
I do not clean tar off the couch
My husband loves to clean, so I let him

I crawl into my turtle shell
Draw up my feet,
My phone is off
Outside communication is not possible
Unless I turn it back on.

I do that when I want to, if I want to
My time is my own
For me and no one else

Ideas take me hither and yon
In my world of imagination
I do nothing I do not want to do
Ask my husband
