I had thought to be retiring at this point. It ain’t gonna happen. At the mention of the word “retirement” my wife gets a frantic look in her eye and starts mumbling to herself something about “home all day.” She even got me a mug for Christmas that makes some disparaging comment about a retired husband being a full time job for the wife.
I don’t have any idea what she is talking about. Maybe that is part of the problem. I saw a headline about some woman who is still teaching at 102. I shudder at the thought. She gets that look in her eye.

Maybe your wife needs to get a part-time job, if she doesn't already work out of the house, and you could do the same. It would give you both a little extra money and a break from too much togetherness.
