Zero Aggravations
I’m not kidding here...
...for the first time in my life I felt as if I were burning out.
Between work, the holidays, Kathy’s injury and feeling as if I were constantly under pressure, I finally listened to my body and the screams of all that work with me.
“Take some time off!”
There were people taking bets that I’d work more than 3 out of the 5 days that I was scheduled to take off.
I knew I couldn’t do that this time.
“What are the plans?” Kathy asked.
“Just zero pressure or aggravations,” I answered.
I purposely changed my routine...
...no rushing out of bed.
...no heading to the corner for the paper.
...staying away from the emails.
We finally got to a few movies that had been sitting in the bullpen.
The Joker was great. Greenbook was fun. We are all caught up on Ray Donovan.
And I made one other decision:
No Trump.
None of his idiotic interviews.
I’d check in on the impeachment trial but only for as long as I could watch or listen without being irritated.
Haven’t lasted more than 3 minutes.
It’s absolute nonsense and our democracy is being threatened...
...but I can’t worry about it this week.
Jeter didn’t get 100%...
...ah well.
Not this week.
I can’t be bothered.
