@Zaphod42 you're a good boyfriend! Taking care of those we love should come first!!!!

@TryingtoLava yes that counts.

@SleepingWithGhosts so cool

@Thatsright wow! What discipline!

@GeminiRain cool

@dragonfly46 oh, what type of volunteering do you do? What does it look like?

@Mindful I work in a chapter office. Help out at events in their booths.

@GoFish do you mind if I ask what type of volunteer work you did?

@Mindful well i used to run errands for the neighbors and once my bro and i were volunteer tutors at a school

@lissah good work. our city has a food bank like that

@Mindful yeah i didnt mind doing it. It was easy.

@0uijaFinger that must have been challenging

@Mindful Not really. I sorted donations and got cups of tea.

@ninalanyon how do you make it thru the day?

@Mindful You'd be amazed at how little time I seem to have to get things done what with finding time to read a book, go for a walk, visit an art gallery, stop at a cafe for tea and cake, take some pictures of the scenery, take some selfies, post my diary on SW (with pictures of course), watch a couple of YouTube videos affirming my prejudices, watch some Insta reels about the troubles other trans people have. By then it's time for bed to sleep and gather my resources to repeat the process on the morrow.

But to be more serious, most of my nominally retired friends do work, often volunteer work, as well as seriously time consuming hobbies. They all say that they don't know how they ever had the time to do an ordinary job for pay as well!

@ninalanyon thank you

@Mindful just help them with my professional skills.

@greensnacks attorney or other?

@Mindful Other. I don't wanna share what do I do 😊

@Thinkingdeeper heritage sector?

@Mindful transport related. Unfortunately medical condition meant I couldn't continue in that role.

@tenente nice that you are gifted enough to teach
