 Having a vacation at home in your 50s is a useful thing; it gives you a glimpse of what your old-age will be like. Today is day number four of nine days of stay-cation, and I am hoping someone shoots me soon. Maybe I'll go drive around Del Paso Heights later.
Today, according to the list my wife left for me, I am clean the bird cages, water the entire property now that the heat wave is over, clean the fish tank (perhaps the worst of the lot as I never wanted the nasty fish to begin with), and clean and dispose of the tortoise tank now that our old tortoise has 'crossed over.' And friend, that's just today!
If I retire, my wife will work me to death. I can see clearly that I must always work in order to avoid messier work. I mean, would you rather clean a fish tank or play a block of Tom Petty songs? Tough choice. Not. Thank you, Stay-cation, for showing me the future!
