Retired — re (again) tired (weary). We spend all those years working. And get tired. Then we finally stop working. And get retired…from getting up, getting dressed (all of which seem to take longer); from climbing stairs (whose idea was it to have the only bathroom on the second floor, anyway?); from transporting and playing with grandkids (but we love ’em); from our hobbies (some of us garden, cook, ride motorcycles, rescue pets); from going out with friends (playing cards, playing trivia, indulging in good meals, going to the theatre, attending sporting events, going to expos). Whew!! No wonder!!
Alternate definition of retired — what you had to do after driving over a nail.
