I did the same as Nulle, retired twice and one lasted 3 months and the other lasted 1 month. Always something to do. Yard work, baby sitting, honey dew list. Notice I didn't say anything about shooting, hunting or fishing. Now that I am back at the grind everything manages to get done. Much of the stuff I had to do is now done by the bride. Why she couldn't do it then is beyond me.
I was home for 2 months recovering from cancer once. I remember like yesterday saying to myself one morning, "gee whats on Ophra tody". I knew then it was time to go back to work hurting or not. I hurt but still went back.
As far as domestic tranquility being with the bride 24/7 gets old.
The next time I retire it will be for real. I suspect I will still work a day a week at my current job or I will find something else to do. What heck I have learned to say will that be paper or plastic or will there be fries with your burger.
