I do have days off. Usually it's because one of us has a doctor appointment and most of our doctors are an hour away, so we do some shopping. This week, I had an appointment with the neurologist on Monday, on Tuesday my wife had an EKG and blood draw, prep for surgery. This morning she's having surgery on her hand. Tomorrow I have a zoom session with my therapist - at least I can do that at home.

Yesterday I did some watering and mole hunting, and because it was so hot, that was my limit. I had to quit and work in the house, straighting up after our daughter's 9 day visit. It's predicted to get up to 95 today. I have 3 hours to kill while my wife is in surgery.

One day of rest each week, called Sabbath by the ancient Jews, was expected for the health and well-being of everyone. Our society doesn't encourage it

Just finished my pancake breakfast so I should vacate the table for other people.

Okay, Jim, so I get that you have 3 hours to "kill" (hope your wife has a successful surgery by the way) but I missed the part about precisely where you get a day off? Man, I am RETIRED. I take days off in bunches! Granted, I do DO things. But they are things I want to do and like to do mostly, and that includes caregiving, working for the Red Cross one day a week, and doing household chores, etc. But if I had the pain you deal with on a daily basis, I think I'd take a true break-day, or many break-days if possible. Play a little FreeCell or something. Jim, I find some of the things you mention about your life, both past and present, a bit awe inspiring. But sometimes you've got to stop and actually SMELL the roses, not just plant them and weed around them and put a bag of mulch on them, etc. etc. etc.

(I am just ribbing you). Have a great day. Or at least a less busy one. 😉
