Now having
reached our mid-sixties, my sister and I have come to some philosophical
conclusions. As retirees who don’t have to get up, get ready, or go to a job
anymore, we are delighted when we can awaken to a “NO BRA” day, which is a day of NO
appointments, NO errands, and NO visitors arriving at our door. We
both rejoice when we can laze around in our flannels, our t-shirts, and our
fuzzy socks. We may not even comb our hair! J
I grab a Slim Fast and sit down at the computer to play a
few games of Spider Solitaire, Free Cell, or Majong Titans, which are my
warm-ups for the day.
Then I peruse my emails. Someone may send me a
”funny” and one click leads to another. You know how it goes. Two hours later I
realize I should get up and do something constructive but it’s a NO BRA day—so there ya go! I can get
very distracted when I’m cruisin’ the net.
Like this morning when I watched Jase and Si, and Willie,
and Phil on Duck Dynasty doing their usual antics. These guys are a hoot! J “Happy, Happy. Happy!”
This led to a YouTube of comedian Tim Hawkins who had
forgotten the scripture reference to his favorite Bible verse so he guessed at
it and signed 100 autographs with Psalm 38:7. When he got home, he looked it
up. It said, “Lo, I have a painful
disease in my loins.” J
When I can finally tear myself away, I might sit down and
watch a little television. Maybe eat a
little popcorn. Then it’s time for another game of Spider Solitaire.
I check my emails again and more distractions ensue until
my stomach tells me it’s time for lunch. Satisfied, I might consider getting dressed but can easily talk myself out of
it. Heck, the day’s half gone so why bother!
I really don’t want to bind myself in and strap myself
down. I love my flannels and fuzzy socks. Unfortunately, these days don’t
arrive very often but when they do, it’s a wonderful life when . . .
IT’S A NO BRA DAY!
