Work during the week is so frazzled that it makes me exhausted. Although I usually plan to get backlog done during the weekend, I rarely get to do it. Take this Saturday for instance. Even if I had a long list of errands to run, writing to do, emails to reply to and what not, I couldn't bring myself to do any of those. For one thing, I'm just plain exhausted.
Case in point. I took a nap this afternoon that lasted for 5 freaking hours. hahaha. So there. My body clock is warped again and here I am awake at 3am, blogging while watching a late night/early morning movie on cable.
My regular masseuse couldn't be contacted since Friday and that sucks. So I had someone else come in because I was literally catatonic from exhaustion. It was good too although it costs a bit more.
I really wish that I didn't have to work anymore and still live a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle. Well, I guess that's probably on everyone's wish list. This whole retirement and rest thing is all lopsided in my view. The way things are now is that you work your butt off when you're young and when you get to 60 or 65, you get to retire and travel around the world. How do you get to enjoy that when you're already frail and don't have the energy to hop, skip, jump or ride the rapids?
If I were given the power to change things, I would reverse the whole thing. Give the young ones enough money for an excellent education and the money to travel and have great adventures as well. Then, when that runs out, that's when they have to work because old people often have to figure out what to do with their time anyway. They can also play a big hand in raising kids because they would have the wisdom and experience to impart.
It's a pretty loose construction of my version of yuppie utopia. But then again, we can all dream, can't we?
