    Dude, the only redeeming thing about being disabled and out of the work force is being able, at any time of day, to grab a drink of whatever I want, and go chill in my back yard.

    Coffee, tea, hot chocolate in cooler weather. Ice water, lemonade, or iced tea in warmer weather. There may or may not be a half shot of bourbon involved on very rare occasions (I’m really not much of an alcohol drinker).

    Like, we have chickens now, and I’ll sometimes go out of a morning with my beverage of choice, my camp chair, and just fuck with the rooster while he crows.

    I strongly encourage anyone still working to find time to do what this post describes. Just do it.

    So now I’m going to sit in the park for a bit before I do my groceries… the dishes sure don’t mind if I do them tomorrow instead. Get yourself a parent (or friend, or stranger on the internet) to remind you to enjoy life every now and then! (and remind your own friends when you can

      That’s a good dad!

      My mom was really big on “don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” My dad was big on “never do today what can wait for tomorrow.” I take after my dad :)
