Retirement, or semi-retirement can take a little adjustment. Firstly, you don't have to rush anymore! Takes a while to get used to not being first away from the lights because the boss wants you in early. Let the van driver go first, he has a job to do. I also built up my stash when I was working, thinking I wouldn't be able to afford kits. Guess what - kits went up in price and I still buy them. I did rationalise the stash when I discovered how fast time goes. Working, caring for others, and fitting in your own life can be a challenge, I'm glad my employers saw fit to let me go 2 years earlier, I haven't looked back, and life is at my pace. It's a great feeling handing in those keys.
