The zombie days are over

MONDAY marked my first anniversary as a retiree. I can hardly believe 12 months flew by so quickly.I blithely wrote about the start of this new chapter in my July 17, 2019, column titled My life as I never knew it.

I mused how I no longer have to set my alarm to wake up, get dressed and go to work. Instead, I was getting used to the new routine of staying home, taking over household chores as my maid was on home leave, tending to my mum, and feeling good and useful.
