re: Do any retirees “miss” work?

No.. regardless of finances.. sleep when you want.. poke around the yard….

First thing I did was think back to when I was a pre teen.. before alcohol.. cars etc.. and said what did I like best about those years because man they were great.. I do a lot of the same.. bike ride.. walk in the woods..goofy hobbies.. rock stuff.. plants.. started learning carnivorous plants.. life is good.. travel some but I did a lot of that for work.. I do domestic and nature but my wife usually will do a Europe trip with others..
