Hey BL,
Come on, this doesn't sound like you.
I kinda know how you feel to some degree. Retirement did it to me. It's called "withdrawals." I went through it for the first two years after I quit working. Hubby went through it too, couldn't stand it and returned to working part-time. Now my friend, Virginia, is going through it and leaning on me for support.
This is a real good opportunity for you to organize your life. Try cleaning out the attic, getting rid of lotsa clutter and stuff that's just been accumulating over the years. Re-purpose a bedroom, turning it into a den or a workout room. In fact, check out the cost of used workout equipment and move it into that old bedroom. Put up mirrors on the wall and maybe even a ballet bar. Get out the old workout videotapes and make an aerobics studio out of that room.
Go through your kitchen and reorganize the cabinets, making them more user-friendly. Organize all those recipe clippings into cookbooks and get yourself a label maker to label the volumes.
Check out classes being offered at the local junior college -- pottery classes are AWESOME! And, BTW, anything hand-made are fabulous Christmas gifts. There's usually a local shop that does ceramics, and you can paint them and fire them for gifts.
Offer to volunteer at the Senior Center, adult home, or local hospital.
Think about what you would like to do with yourself. Maybe get involved in a physical fitness program? Join the Y?
YOU CAN DO THIS. I know you can. It's just a matter of finding your niche, and that takes a lot of thought.
I'm gonna keep following you on this, Girlfriend...
