Congratulations  I was wondering when you would make the break. Seeing it through the school year makes for a perfect ending time.
Oh yes, time to veg, but also time to get things done you have been wanting/needing to do at home /for yourself.
I personally love being retired. I can work when I want with a totally different skill set than my career. For me personally I volunteer BUT it is not a constant position. That leaves me open to do volunteer work when it comes up without it feeling like a job & gives me a variety of things to do. One volunteer thing I do is with flowers at the Horse park, another is volunteer work at the dressage shows like ring steward, score running always good exercise, help with rescued horses, & just to farm check-ins for my friends who are away. Left me open for that exciting job this foaling season of doing foal watch, then I did it for a friend who still had 2 pregnant mares after foaling season at the TB farm was over. I love being able to be flexible to just take day trips when I want to also. Didn't want to get tied down to a volunteer position that made me feel like I was working again on a permanent basis. Guess I am a free spirit at heart. Hope after verging you can settle into the retirement life that fits what you love & your passions
