Life really does go by too fast—now we’re basically speedrunning time. We wake up Monday, blink, and suddenly it’s Friday afternoon, like, “Welp, there goes the week.”
We have absolutely no clue how we ever survived working jobs, because now we do errands every day—and it somehow takes hours. Apparently, the grocery store alone requires a full episode and a commercial break.
Being Monday, I found myself hiding in the closet, refusing to come out when Mary called me. Not even Mary saying “Come on, Champ, you can do it!” would work. I knew that within two hours, I would be lying on a hard concrete floor with my “personal trainer” laughing hilariously at my various moaning sounds while I attempted to get back up. Then, adding insult to injury, I would be placed in a torso being machine with 500-pound weights pulling my little muscles until they creaked.
The only machine I like is the rowing machine because my trainer gets into his/he Viking costume with the helmet having horns and using a whip while yelling “Row, Row, Row my boat… quickly down the stream!!”
This image strikes fear into my heart every time I think about it!
But all is NOT lost, I finally found a machine at the gym that I like: the vending machine.
First class, all the way!!!
Today’s goals:
- Clean up my desk so I can see the top!
- Organize and table ALL the damned wireless cords!
- Install the new burner on the second standup heater!
- Go to Home Depot to get flowers for the front of the yard.
- Troubleshoot my security cameras and properly rename them!
- Go to the market and get goodies for this week’s meals.
- Find candles for our breakfast room table (for those romantic dinners with m’lady)
- If time allows, trim the cactus garden and adjust the watering cycle.
- If time allows, move the heavy-duty socket sets to another location since I do not use them much… Make room for other tools.
- Fall more in love with my amazing wife!
After the gym, we stopped by Home Depot and filled up the “truck” with bags of goodies, including flowers, posts, parts bins, etc. Mary fixed a great breakfast. I’m glad I don’t have to hunt for my own food. I have no idea where sandwiches live.
