I am busy at work. I live in upstate New York with my husband and our kids. I love travelling. I have never been to the west coast.
I go fishing. I am retired. I spend time working out. I used to live in Chicago. I love Chicago pizza and burgers. I have never been to the west coast. I don't travel much.
What kind of fish have you been catching? I've been catching a lot of salmon. Thankfully it isn't too hard to scale and debone the salmon after I catch them. I'm going to make a delicious Salmon meal for dinner tonight using the fish I just caught. Oh, cool!  I don't eat fish but my dad used to take me fishing a lot when I was younger.  I'm sure everyone will love your dinner though!  It must be nice having more time for that stuff now that you're retired? Yeah, retirement has been a blessing. I have so much more time for hobbies and doing activities with my family. What about you? How is work going? I can't wait to get to that point lol!  I love to travel so I can't wait to have more time for that.  It'll be so nice to get that extra time with my husband.  For now we both work and have the kids to take care of.  Work is always busy, but at least I have a job so I'm not complaining.  I work in sales.  What did you used to do? Yup, it definitely could be worse. I used to be a nurse. It was a really stressful job, so I'm very happy to be retired now. It was also extremely rewarding though getting to help so many people. How are your husband and kids doing? I can't imagine the stress of that job.  I work in sales of medical equipment, so I'm around nurses sometimes and you all are strong people!  Thank you for everything you did for years!  I'm glad you were able to retire and destress!  My husband and kids are ok, unfortunately we don't see each other too much because of our schedules but we're trying Hopefully that's only temporary and your schedules will change soon. I've been able to spend a lot more time with my wife now that I'm retired. It's definitely been a blessing. I hope so, thank you!  We go through different seasons, eventually this one will pass.  I'm sure your wife is loving that and that you are too!  You get to spend so much time with each other, I'm jealous!  Do you have any kids? Yeah, we have 3 sons that are all grown up. One of them just moved out to the West coast. I don't travel much, so I haven't visited him yet.  Oh nice!  Is he liking it out there?  That's got to be quite the adventure for him I would imagine!  I remember that you don't travel much, it can be exhausting but I love it!   Maybe you could find some new fun places for burger and pizzas though! He seems to be having the time of his life. I'll try to make it out there eventually, but I hate travelling. It's such a hassle to get on a plane and drive out there. You've never been to the west coast either. Maybe we could go together.
