My day started slowly. I had plans but kept finding other things to do instead. I was not feeling particularly good about my choices. This is part of my retirement conundrum, if I don’t do something productive I feel guilty.
I finally got myself to the computer to at least check email. That did include some productive acts, just not what I had planned.
And then the mail arrived. Some fun stuff for Carl. Another letter about Carl’s Social Security and what he gets paid and what they deduct, all good, just bookkeeping. And then, a package I had been waiting for from the government of Saskatchewan CA. Certified copies of my Grandfather’s birth records. I am looking into the potential of acquiring Canadian citizenship based on being descendants of Canadians. Just starting, let’s call this step 1. Interesting feelings, today’s was happiness.
And for further humor I saw this.
I am currently carrying a clear bag of a certain size, as allowed by the local stadiums.
I don’t think I’ll be winning any fashion awards.

I took a clear bag to a concert a few years back. (the Who) It felt weird to have everything exposed like that–which is of course the whole idea. My older daughter is working on her Canadian citizenship; once she does that, she’ll do the same for her sons.
