Something I've noticed just recently that's great about being retired is I no longer feel like I need to be in a hurry to get to a place so I can move through a thing just so I can wait again. It used to be when we traveled, I would be in line like at the TSA and I'd be in this kind of hurry to get through TSA so we could get to the other side and sit and wait for the flight. And now I realize like I don't really hurry up to get places anymore. I talked about anchoring a while back. If you can get on top of this anchoring tendency, you stop hurrying to be anywhere. The other day I was traveling with a guy who checked bags. I never check bags just because I don't like the hassle of it. But he was like, well, you don't have to wait. You know, I'll go get my bag. And I was like, dude, I don't care. Like. I would just go home and hang around for the next few hours anyway. Like, it's just a weird it's a weird transition that once you retire, if you get over this need for like compulsive anchoring, you don't feel like you don't feel in such a hurry to get from thing to thing anymore. And and it just takes off so much of what was unnecessary anxiety when you're going places like I used to get so frustrated in line. At the airport. I used to get so frustrated sitting in the plane. And now I realize, like, I'm just going to be hanging out wherever I end up so I can just hang out here. It's not a big deal. It's just kind of it's kind of nice.
