ugh. i am actually feeling awake and alive this morning, but the desire to go to work is nil. i am very happy to have a job and be paid for it, but man the dream of being retired calls to me more every day. all those people who would be bored being retired, i do not understand you. i cannot wait. sign me up. the moment i have enough money to keep the schanff in the luxuries to which he is accustomed despite inflation and all that jazz, i am retiring. i will happily have a life of leisure and not working. i will be plenty fulfilled.
