Same energy.

Having lived at both ends of the spectrum, I would gladly go back to being broke and free. The family, not so much.

This is the way.

Oh there would be plenty of strokes, I’ll grant you that.

Lunch. Even though I work from home, I have a standing rule to never eat in my office. Never. I always go to the kitchen or dining room, and take my time.

I feel you but honestly, you don’t even notice.

I hate every day - I prefer the night.

My wife laughs at me for mending clothes. I often darn socks, jeans, sweaters, etc. - takes about 10 minutes but dang, I just saved $80 on a new pair of jeans. DUH.

My jr high school made the boys take ‘home economics’ and the girls had to take shop class. We all thought it was a joke but, 40 years later, I can still sew and shank a button, fix a tear in jeans, and make a pan of muffins with the best of them.
