Thinking about my retirement

I have been engaged in remodeling a foreclosed house for the past month.  It has truly cut into my retirement, which is what I wanted, I thought.  But, all of this activity, meeting deadlines and working with subcontractors has created tensions in my life that were not there before I started this endeavor.  I was thinking that tensions would be good and invigorate me beyond my lazy days.  What this has taught me is that I am old enough to have lazy days.
