You’re lucky — for me every day is Friday. . . I’m always just one day away from that “day off” <lmao>
The problem with that for me is that after over 50 years of up to 20 hour days and 7 day weeks for the bulk of it, I don't have a clue what I'm supposed to do with all this time on my hands, especially while waiting for the wife to retire. It's hard to not check email 37 times a day or prep for another trip across the country or around the world every 3-4 days. Only carrying one phone seems "off", like I'm forgetting something.
What's not hard is forgetting about mandatory annual "training" telling me to not be a jerk or talk about things I'm not supposed to. Yeah, my parents taught me those basics before I was in junior high. I hated it on active duty, was absolutely insulted by it in the private sector, and wanted to beat my head against a wall getting it from both ends as a civilian contractor to the government.
I check my email a lot too as well as post ? on the internet. I did purchase a fixer-upper which needed a few "cosmetic" items. That let to redoing the master bath, spare bath, kitchen floor, dining room floor.......
Remember, if you never finish, you can always justify "just one more tool."
I remind myself every night I'm not in my 40s anymore. If I forget to, the ole bod reminds me!Remember, if you never finish, you can always justify "just one more tool."

You can never be too rich, too good looking, or have too many toolsRemember, if you never finish, you can always justify "just one more tool."
