I've been living it and loving it for the past 10 months. The weird feeling soon passes.

Although I am already receiving my pension, my wife is still working to keep me in the manner to which I have become accustomed so, to some extent, I am a dependent person. That will change later this year when my wife retires. How will I cope without the house to myself all day?

I hope you enjoy retirement, Charmion. I'm sure you deserve it.
