Saturdays

Grandad December 22nd, 2007

What the hell is it about Saturdays?

When you are retired, days have less meaning because the week isn’t defined by work days and rest days. I like that. I don’t dread Mondays any more.

I like to have a routine, so I set my alarm for nine on a weekday, just so that the weekend can be different. But I usually wake before the alarm goes off anyway.

But still Saturdays are different.

I seem to be brain-dead on that day. I have nothing to say. All the fizz is gone out of the brain. I just want to sleep.

And it is always the day that they want me to record the Kilos of Craic Podcast. And Baino, Brianf, Dr. Don and JD don’t seem to suffer the same shut-down of the gray cells, so once again, I’ll just let them waffle away.

And after the podcast is done, then I’ll probably just doze off.

I can’t even think of anything to write now.

“I like to have a routine, so I set my alarm for nine on a weekday, just so that the weekend can be different”

How about setting the alarm for Saturdays to see what happens?

These professional writers are all the same… complaints, complaints and more complaints!

I think you need a proper job!

Steph – It’s over six years since I left work. I should be used to it now?

Grannymar – Professional = Pay. Pay = 0. Professional = 0. QED.

And if I want to complain, well… it’s my blog.

Maybe we should re-name Saturday – Senior Moments Day?

Haha . . I berated my sister this week because she hadn’t come round on Thursday as promised (It was Wednesday – yep, I didn’t even know what day it was!). My recent home imprisonment has rendered me a retiree. Dunno what day it is, dunno what time it is . . frankly don’t care! I empathise Grandad . .

We should podcast on Saturday night your time . . .after a couple of bevvies . . that’ll make you more loquacious
