When you are retired you don't get "days off." Federal holidays are just days that the mail is not delivered and certain offices are not open.
But today feels like a day off! No more jury duty (at least for a while till my number comes up again). Also Tuesdays and Saturdays are days when we don't have to go anywhere. Mon,Wed, & Fridays we go to the Y, Wed & Thursdays we have singing practice, and Sunday we have Church, so only some Tuesdays and some Saturdays we get to stay home and do what we do at home (rather boring for active people).
I know there is not a lot of sympathy out there for us from the working public, but the life suits us! Plus I have a wonderful wife to spend time with!
Most federal holidays are just days that the mail is not delivered for most of in the working public too.
