Nope Dryginger it's not just you. I retired at the end of March after working full time for 49 years and, in the first month, I redecorated, properly cleaned the house, sorted my neglected garden out, sorted my wardrobes out and generally did all the things I'd been meaning to do for years. The second month I started some craft projects and worked on them all the time. The third month I can barely shift my backside off this sofa. I actually have to bargain with myself as to how long I'll be inert for before I actually do anything productive. And on the days when I really have to do something or go somewhere, I'm exhausted for days afterwards. I'm hoping my mojo will come back at some point but can't be bothered going looking for it.

Does anybody have days when they really dont want to do anything?
I retired in Jan but my DH is 8 years younger than me and still works.
I get up at 4am and get ready for him to go to work, i have always been an early riser I tidy the house do washing and shopping and he cooks when he gets in. He loves cooking and says he helps him unwind.
Im really happy not working but some days I dont do a thing and cant be bothered then I feel guilty. Its this just me ?
