I’m pretty sure I’ve hit the age where I can basically do one thing a day and then need to spend the rest of the day just chilling, and honestly I’m not mad about it
I did two things today too. I made coffee at home this morning and I took myself out for coffee this afternoon. I know it was pushing it, but I’m worth the effort.
Having the option can be nice indeed. It's different than my situation. Most of the time, I'm not able to do anything. So doing nothing is what I'm forced to do. And it's boring. I suppose you still do things like reading a book, listening to music or watching TV. Which is not nothing.
Never even heard of a Pulitzer for music, but apparently it's been around since the 1940s. I'd never heard of it even when I was younger and totally into the music of the day.
That's not an age. That's an economic class.
I tried to think of a gentler way to write that, but I really do need to get back to cleaning and making dinner.
I have too, but my 81 yo mom kicked my tush today with outings! Bakery, target, another bakery, sister’s house, lowe’s, COSTCO where we also got a replacement car key from some not-sus ppl in a van, then autozone, home, then beer garden, then frozen custard. It’s still >95F here 🥵🤪
I’ve been like this for two weeks now (post-COVID recovery), and for me it’s absolutely dogshit. Today we did: Post office, hardware store, lunch, and now I need a goddamned nap? I wasn’t even the one driving!
You are not old. You're only a year older than I am and *I* am not old, therefore you are not old.
Why do people want to skip straight from "young" to "old" without acknowledging "middle-aged"?
And then retirement where one thing is stretched across many days.
I just try to finish what I started the day before -- nothing. You have no idea how hard doing nothing is.
