I figured out today why bad weather has such a much more harmful impact on my emotional state in retirement. It's because when I was working, the days were like all of my daily activities occasionally punctuated by the weather. You know, I was going to meetings, I was driving places, I was in calls, I was in the office. If I was at home, I was on calls. But my day was filled with all sorts of things that really didn't have anything to do with the weather. And now that I'm retired, I'm outside all the time and it's flipped. And now it's the weather occasionally punctuated by other activities. So when the weather's bad, the thing that I interact with the most is bad all day. Whereas back when I was working, you know, it was just like the trip from the car into the Columbus office, the trip from the car into the Columbus office. The trip from the car into the Dayton office. It was just little teeny bursts of interacting with the weather. Whereas now, it's like most of what I do with little bursts of things in between. So, I gotta figure that out.
