Note To Self:
When you make a nighttime visit to the loo, do not stick your head in the office to "just see what's on the internet for a minute", because next thing you know, it's 5AM and the alarm's going off in an hour...
That is one of nice things about retirement - if you wake up at 0200 and can't drop immediately back to sleep, you can surf the web if you want (for as long as you want) secure in the knowledge that you have time later to take a nap if you need it.
But I seem to remember when I was ten, summers seemed to stretch out like a life sentence. Now, it seems like I blinked or someething and these two adults are calling me "Dad" and giving me advice.
Scheiße. There goes my hope that I'll grow out of this kind of thing with age.
ReplyDelete"...with age"?
ReplyDeleteDude, you'll be forty next week, trust me.
The second twenty years of your life goes by faster than summer when you were 10. At least if you're having any fun it does.
I don't think I needed to knows this particular threat. But thanks.
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that.
ReplyDeleteTry to avoid it unless i have insomnia or had a particularly nasty nightmare I'd rather not think about any longer.
