Since our <a href=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/2019\/10\/01\/milestone-one-decade-of-retirement\/\">Retirement Post Last Year<\/a>, we have been busy with our everyday routines accompanied by some occasional deviations from the norm. We find things to keep us busy, I guess, as most retirees do, and that seems to make the time pass quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the overblown COVID-19 pandemic (or should I say <em><strong>DEM panic?<\/strong><\/em>), we have postponed any excursions in the RV to next spring and\/or fall. We had planed a couple of trips for 2020, but stuff happened. <\/p>\n<p><em>IMAGE: Numeral Eleven textured by the red rock gravel around our house where many people would have a lawn. We have to pull weeds once in a while, but no mowing in retirement!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>During the past year, on two occasions, we have entertained overnight visitors in our home. The first visit was from a couple that we have known since the early 1960&#8217;s. They stayed a couple of nights with us and had a <a href=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/2019\/09\/03\/reunion-ham-radio-style\/\">reunion dinner<\/a> at our place with another couple who, like us, relocated to Arizona from Kalifornistan. The second visitor, also an old friend and former workplace associate, stayed with us a couple of nights in August while on his way from Colorado Springs back home to the Los Angeles area. Those were both nice visits that we enjoyed immensely.<\/p>\n<p>October is going to be an eventful month. I have my second cataract surgery scheduled mid-month with pre- and post-surgery visits with the ophthalmologist plus visit scheduled with the proctologist for an exam and to schedule the next colonoscopy. I also have some more dermatology work to be done sometime in October. I also plan on seeing the orthopedic surgeon next week regarding knees, shoulders and hips. There&#8217;s nothing drastically wrong with those (I hope) but I have a recommendation from the family doctor to go to the ortho for x-rays and follow-ups. <\/p>\n<p>So, here we go into our twelfth year of retirement. We&#8217;re praying that the widespread insanity diminishes enough for us to get back to normal and maybe hit the road to relieve our wanderlust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last year seems to have gone by in a whirlwind despite the social and biological plagues of 2020.
