Been retired 20 years. I always say, I have nothing to do and all day to do it. 😊

From Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson); β€œThere’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want to do.” I feel this way, when I finally turn in late at night.

From my earliest years, I was pried out of bed around 5:00 a.m. My folks were very devout Pentecostal church goers and we probably averaged 5 nights a week of being out late. Sometimes very late. (We never missed a revival or any sort of meeting within driving distance- no matter how old and prone to flat tires and engine failures our old vehicle might be.)

This sleep deprivation lasted almost my entire adult life, what with a household of four children and a child-like husband to care for, while maintaining a career

So, my great joy now is to sleep until I awake naturally. And have nothing planned.

Kind of makes me wish there was a "dislike" / "sadface" button to express my disapproval on behalf of husbands everywhere.

Guys, don't be a burden on your wives! 😱

Some say, β€œI did nothing today, and it took all day to do it.”
