… that I often think being
abducted by aliens might be just the vacation I need?
… that I feel like I just
need 8 to 12 hours of alone time in the mornings and then I’m recharged and
ready to tackle the day.
… that the night before a day
off is more satisfying than the actual day off?
… that I’m at a point in my
life where I don’t even know the point I’m at, but know that I am at a point?
… that I love being the
reason Nuns clutch their rosaries when I pass by?
… that when I hear noises in
the house, I pray that they’re ghosts and not just another problem I need to
spend money on to fix?
… that much like a houseplant
I can be given perfect conditions and yet still refuse to thrive?
… that after seeing a quote
that said “You did not wake up today to be mediocre,” my first thought was,
“Yes, I did. It’s Tuesday.”
… that I have two milestones
each day at work: lunch and leaving? |
Ghosts and aliens, eh? Sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteIt explains a lot ...
DeleteAll good ones! I always look forward to a long weekend, a vacation or any time away from, well, life, knowing that reality will come crashing back all too soon.
ReplyDeleteA reality break is often necessary!

Things that go bump in the night aren't always the "house settling."

Why is it that my pill box is the best way for me to keep track of which day of the week it is?
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need a pillbox?
DeleteI love Saturdays! Aliens and ghosts ... I'm right there with you!
ReplyDeleteIt's either ghosts or aliens or murderers, and I'd prefer the first two.
DeleteMy life!
ReplyDelete… that much like a houseplant I can be given perfect conditions and yet still refuse to thrive?
I sometimes think thriving is overrated.
DeleteSome days at work making it to lunch time while maintaining sufficient workplace decorum (i.e. not saying whst you actually may be thinking) is an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteSet the bar low enough and you too can be a super achiever!

I do like a low bar ... with a good cocktail menu!
DeleteI have four milestones. Two coffee breaks!
ReplyDeleteDang, I forgot the coffee breaks!
DeleteThe noises in the house is the one that most resonates with me. Moving into a new place that has been vacant for nearly a year has been expensive.
ReplyDeleteOne day Bob, those two milestones will be in the rearview mirror. Retirement is the best job you'll ever have!
I am looking toward that retirement day, though I doubt I'd ever really stop working, or volunteering or something.
DeleteI have often thought of being abducted by aliens to get away from here might not be a bad thing. But then there are those anal probes....
ReplyDeleteI thought you might like an anal probe on occasion? I mean, things could be worse.
DeleteI'm sure I wake every day to be mediocre. It is quite satisfying and not difficult to meet my self expectations.
ReplyDeleteMediocre CAN be okay from time to time; I kinda like it.
DeleteSounds like you need a vacation.
ReplyDeleteAlways!
DeleteOh definitely! The night before a day off is always more satisfactory than the actual day off, because once you get through that day, you know it's back to routine.
