I Used to Revel in It | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 8, 2006 When I first retired, I'd go out and about and take my time wandering around Austin and really revel in it. I wouldn't worry about wasting time. Today I became anxious while essentially goofing off in this way. Oh, I had an alleged purpose. I was supposed to be going to Target to look for something for my great nephews' upcoming birthdays. And delivering my Dad's income tax info to the CPA. |

Ha. That Target doesn't even seem to be there anymore. And I goofed off looking in Uncommon Objects afterward. (My CPA lives in an office upstairs from there.) Sadly I didn't take the camera so no pictures. I went to the little toy store on South Congress after that. I did buy a few things for the nephews. It's hard to know what to buy even though I get hints from my niece. It was a pretty day. And I was out shopping and driving around Austin when things weren't busy. But I just couldn't revel in it. I felt anxious like I should be doing something useful. Like my own taxes. Ugh. Or chores around the house. |
