wife is binge watching the hurricane coming in, 88 yo father in law was doddering around, and somewhere in my recent past I thought I retired.

I have one more wedding to go through. Late October. I was so down in late June, I was contemplating hitting the road, Jack Reacher style. Sucked it up, then MIL broke her hip on 8.5 - my anniversary. There went my life.
Looking real hard at the gin. Wife calls it angry juice.
Somehow I need to learn some humility and accept my fate. I cannot even get my adult children who don't live at home anymore to remove their crap. Sure, I get it, it's an inconvenience for them. But when SWMBO defends them... sigh. Rapidly approaching the FI moment.

Do you realize that there is at least one Wafflehouse in Tallahassee that is closed AND boarded up? That's good reason to be terrified. God help us.

I actually saw that. I detect your sarcasm. Please tell me I'm right. 
I'm listening to a youtube weather channel want a be drone on and on. He's actually quite good, but 24x7 coverage of a hurricane? ffs.
for what it's worth, I live 40 miles north of Atlanta, and the hurricane (which will be a tropical storm by the time it reaches us) will be here early am. I'm getting up early to sit on my front porch and watch and enjoy. If I get a spin up tornado, waaa hoo.
good grief, I am dark tonight.

Yes, the thing about communicating via text is that sarcasm doesn't come through. Even though I was being sarcastic, there is an element of legitimate concern that exists when I see a Wafflehouse closed. You probably already know this, but FEMA uses the number of closed Wafflehouses to partially gauge the severity of a natural disaster. I think it's referred to as the "Wafflehouse Index". It's been around for a long time and is still in use, so it must be a reliable indication to some extent.

I would love to see a tornado in real life. Chasing any kind of storm intrigues me, so I can understand why you'd enjoy watching it. I've never been in a hurricane, or a tropical storm. That's something I'd want to experience as long as I was several floors up inside a concrete building.

You're having a rough time right now. I understand that. It's perfectly fine. Hang in there.

Weirdly I just poured myself a gin and soda and then logged into the lounge and was faced with your post.
Cheers Charlie...
I know exactly how you feel.
The only good thing is that life goes on, regardless.
Retirement is a lie.
I did like the "Man on the Moon" link that Choroid sent you.
It cheered me up.
You Keep Well....

I just watched the movie Jerry & Marge Go Large (2022) - IMDb[^], which is about a retired man, and can recommend it.
Although IMDB states that it is "Based on a true story" I find that hard to believe, but nevertheless a very enjoyable movie without the usual shooting and computer generated graphics

If you're listening to music right now, what song is playing? If you're not currently listening to music, what song would you like to be listening to right now?

When I'm working I like songs with no lyrics. Often soundtracks to movies or games. Right this second I'm listening to the Quest For Glory 5 soundtrack... "Dance of mystery and intrigue". I grew up on the Quest for Glory computer games. Remember when those crazy pixelated images looked so "life like" and cool.

I wish I was listening to the Grateful Dead May 26, 1973 Kezar Stadium.

I work from home, so things are pretty quiet.
But if I needed to drown out surrounding annoyances, I'd have a headset on and play white noise in a loop. I've used that before, and found it to be quite effective.
Seriously. If I need to focus, music is a distraction.
