Must be getting old

I was working on a couple of 640 ford tractors I split and was piecing back together. Mail is usually here about noon or so. About 12:30 I get some exercise by walking down my 1300 ft driveway to get the mail. Wave to the neighbor across the street. No mail yet so I head back up and continue to work on the tractors. A couple hours later I head back down to check the mail again. Neighbor still out there working in his yard with his wife now and I give them a wave again. No mail yet so I head back up and work on the tractors. About 15 minutes later I head in the house for something to drink. I see my wife and say no mail yet and she sez no mail today. So I say what is it a holiday? She sez no it's Sunday. I must be getting old when I don't know what day it is. Maybe it's cause my wife didn't go to church yesterday.
Well as least I must have gave the neighbors a good laugh.

After we retired I used to jokingly say the only way I knew it was Sunday was you can't buy whiskey, but now that's changing in MN so I won't even know when it's Sunday!
 
After I retired I tell my wife the only way I can tell what day it is would be by reading the newspaper. Or checking my pill box, unless I forget to take them all one day.
 
I drove to work one morning. Place was closed. Janitor said today is Sunday why are you here. Told him I just came by to pick up some paper work. Iam sure he believed me.
 
You must be retired! Hope you are enjoying life as much as I am. About the mail on Sunday, just smile.
 
I was given this as a retirement gift.

3 times in my life I have jumped out of bed late (forgot to set the darn alarm!) Threw clothes on and hopped in my truck half asleep headed to work and somewhere between home and job come to the realization that it was Sunday,,, at least 3 times is all I can remember doing it,,,,
 
"The day the big paper comes you have to get dressed up for church" is the way a retired guy explained it to me. Since we quit the paper I guess I won't know what to do when I retire.
 
I don't get confused over which day of the week it is, but many times I lose track of what day of the month it is, and I continuously forget to look at the 2 calendars in the kitchen. After I retired I refused to carry a "date book" or cell phone, having had to carry a small notebook and pager and then a phone 24 hours around the clock for the last 6 years I worked as a Lead Production Maintenance Tech. I do carry my cell phone now, not as a "duty" but as a "convenience". After all, I am retired.....and presently single.....and free.....sort of.......
 
A couple months ago I woke Marilyn up on Sunday morning so she wouldn't be late for church because this was the Sunday she had to read on the alter. She woke up with a scared look in her eyes and jumped out of bed. Then she sat back down and told me it was SATURDAY! I was already dressed and ready to go to church.
 
Well, I've only done it once but didn't figure it out until I got there and it was locked up. Thirty five miles away, simple case of a beer over dose.
 
Young man was ordained into priesthood and I knew his grand parents very well. Said, I was going to his first mass in our local church. Got all dressed, checked time again to make sure when it was. WELL, I was a MONTH early. Missed the mass next month due to other commitments for that date.
 
I wear an older digital Timex watch that has the date plus day of the week on it's display. Not sure what I will do when it finally dies have grown to depend on it to tell what day of the week it is.
 
Bob;
I just boughy a new Timrx "Classic". It looks almost like the old Timex but has a lot better "Indiglo" feature.
