I hear this question alot. Friends and family will ask, “What have you been up to?”  When they ask me, I can't think of anything exciting to share. I will usually say, “Not much.” So I decided to take a look at last week and see what a retired guy with no job does with all his free time.

Here is my list of things I did in no particular order.

I read two books- Dream- Biography of Hakeem Olaguwon (retired NBA player)

I am Restored- Book written by christian/hip hop artist

Read the last of the book of Acts and most of Romans

Learned how to play Beer never broke my heart by Luke Combs

(still working on some of the electric guitar solo parts)

Finished the songwriting course -Becoming a Songwriter by Andrea Stolpe

Also, I did my daily stuff.-Laundry, dishes, picked up Ella at school, worked out at the gym, took Virdie to the grocery store, went to watch Alyssa cheer at the basketball game, performed a six minute set at an open mic for comedy, roto tilled part of the backyard to plant grass, went for walks in my neighborhood, and other small stuff.

I feel better about myself after reviewing all the things I was able to accomplish. It was a good week and alot was accomplished. Sometimes I don't take the time to look back and I act like I didn't get anything done. Hope you had a good week and accomplished everything you wanted to get done. 

I'm not going to list the things I didn't get done. That is a bigger list. They are item that I don't want to talk  or think about. Usually it is stuff that I don't or won't do. lol
