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

Helene came through close to us and we have one heck of a mess to clean up.
Yard looks like a bomb went off. Fortunately we just had a Generac unit put in so we have power.

are you in Florida? The bottom half of Georgia is 90%+ without power.
Trying to chase down my mother-in-law of my son. No answer to texts yet. That part of the family is in south Georgia (Cecil, north of Valdosta).

We're in White Springs, FL. North of I10 and I75 intersection. Looks like a bomb hit, 10 trees down and limbs everywhere. Have Generac, but line to house down. Luckily no damage and everyone safe.

As I sat in my gloom, a voice came to me:
"cheer up things could be worse"
So, I cheered up.
Things got worse.
Successful retirement: wife does her thing, I do my thing. We give each other space.

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

Never married.
I look forward to seeing how things will turn out for me. Does that mean I get all the space in the world?

"wife does her thing, I do my thing"
Absolute truth, but I did not see the situation coming. I've spent my life herding children and working my butt off. I'm down to two in the house plus us, and what rankles me is this in-law thing. It's like I have an 88 yo toddler. Nothing, against him, it's just not what I had on my radar for this time in my life. I need to go see my son and his family (USARMY) on their way to Germany in the next 2 weeks. But, wife is afraid to leave the area, because we might get a call from the geriatric mental facility that MIL is in. She's in full mother mode for her dad. I get it, but I'm in the just wow mode.

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 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.

Not only music, but any "louder" sound breaks mental focus or changes it. For me, absolute silence is the best, and every few hours a short break with some quietly played 
extreme metal such as Meshuggah, Rivers of Nihil, or Job for a Cowboy refreshes my mind somehow, it works
