I am retired due to disability. Since 2005. With family "21 minutes up the road", I see the parents quite. A. Bit. But other than that "quality time", it's PT twice a week, so I can manage my weight as a relatively sedentary individual, and so I can stretch my quadriceps, which are a tight hot mess due to said disability. Also, SoulCollage, which helps me deal with some developmental issues that have impacted my life and how I see things.
Also trying my best to follow soccer, tennis, and fleetingly other things at the local uni. Movies, too, if I like the trailer. I live right near a place that has lots of foreign and budget films.
NPRhead, also into jazz, indie and drone. Whichever suits my mood; music is a serious moodchanger, and I'm a moody person who needs said change quite a bit.
No family of my own. I just don't deal well with children, and I feel like divorce happens too quickly these days, so marriage seems like a headache waiting to happen. Never had much experience with girls, anyway.
So, nothing glamorous going on, but I hated work. So, glad to be out of that drama.
