How would you rate this lifestyle - boring, interesting, in the rut?

Question

I am 55 years old, married with one son, aged 25, employed and living separately.

I wake up at 6 in the morning. At 6:30, I am out with my bicycle for a 45 minutes vigorous ride to the beach and back home.

At 8, I have the second cup of tea of the day and go through two newspapers.

I have my shower at 8:45 and breakfast at 9:00.

I work from home, and I am at my desk at 9:15

At 1:00 I have my lunch and lie down for 30 minutes reading news paper. A short while later, I doze off.

After a half hour siesta, I have my tea and am back at my desk at 3:00 PM.

I work until 6:00 and then I go to a near by swimming pool for a 45 minute vigorous swim.

At 7:30 in the evening, I begin to have my whisky on my bedroom balcony. My wife and I talk about the day during that time. I also make a few phone calls to my friends.

By 10:00, I have had 240 ml of whisky, I am reasonably tipsy and have my dinner. At 10.30 I am off to sleep. Thanks to the whisky, the moment I put my head on the pillow, I go off to sleep.

I seldom watch TV.

On Wednesdays, I go to my Rotary Club meeting. After the meeting, I drink with my fellow Rotarians and discuss mainly politics.

Once a week, I meet my friends – one is a doctor and other is a professor - over a drink and come back home in time to go to sleep.

I used to go to my club twice a week, but now I don’t go much because I do not find the conversation there interesting. I find being with my wife more enjoyable.

I do not like travelling.

I have a beautiful garden, and gardening is my hobby. It gives me great happiness.

I enjoy good health.

Now, what would you call this sort of lifestyle, boring or interesting?

Answer 1

It's similar to the life I lead where I have a routine like that and work from home. I feel the routine keeps me sane, and I'm really enjoying life at the moment, but I'm single. Once I'm married, I won't have much of a routine as I would want to spend most of my time with my husband. I wouldn't spend so much of my time independant like I do now.

Answer 2

you're fifty two% thrilling you're a rather thrilling person. a lot of human beings locate you to be exciting. you have a dynamic, adventurous existence... a existence that others envy. you're extremely interested in and open to the international. you like making new pals, and you're continuously up for an unusual adventure. Like all people else, you will get somewhat boring at times. it is commonplace. yet in assessment to all people else, you are able to pull your self out of a rut. you do no longer stay boring for long.

Answer 3

how do you have time for asking questions?!

sounds like your in shape which is really good. it also sounds like you drink a lot, which isnt too good. travelling is fun to me but thats opinion.

hmmm.... i think your life can be boring from some points of view and interesting at others.

i think working @ a desk and reading all those newspapers can be kinda boring. but i love to swim and bicyclings pretty fun too, so that seems interesting. but i lived really close to the beach, bareback riding on horses would be more fun to me. i also absolutly love siestas! (naps)
but, all together, it doesnt sound too boring to me.

Answer 4

Sounds to me you are looking for challenges.
The most rewarding job is to invest your time, talents and energy onto that which have lasting/ multiplicative values -- people.

You may want to consider:
Volunteer to a welfare institute
Mentor to a younger man
Co-mentor with your wife to young couples
Advocate of a worthy cause
Foster parent
Fundraiser for neighbourhood school

Share your expertise and experience will make you even happier than now. Then you have even more reason to stay healthy and active.

Answer 5

I'd say **overall** if it works for you, go for it---but as a nurse, I'd suggest you may want to consider cutting back hard on the whiskey. The amount you list---240mL--is eight shots a day, or almost half a pint!

FWIW, and you can take this or leave it---you may want to see your health care provider and ask for a good physical, complete labs, and liver function testing, because that is a LOT of liquor to ask your body to process routinely.

Answer 6

I WOULDN'T CALL IT VBORING, BUT VERY ROUTINE. SHOOT I WISH I COULD GO RIDING A BIKE OR SWIM AND I AM YOUNGER THAN YOU. IF YOU THINK YOU NEED TO CHANGE SOMETHING, MAYBE TRY OTHER THINGS THAN DRINKING, MAYBE CHESS OR OTHER BOARD GAMES WITH YOUR WIFE WHO YOU SAID YOU ENJOY HER COMPANY.

Answer 7

interesting but it's not good to drink alcohol.

Answer 8

sounds better then mine, but still it's boring
