Cripes, It's Only Thursday!

Have you ever had weeks that just drag on for whatever reason? For crying out loud, this has been one of those weeks. It's just dddrrrasaagggiiinnnggg! And it's only Thursday! It could be it's just middle of the winter doldrums. Although I am not sure that's it since this past week has been rather nice in the 60s—which is definitely atypical for February but certainly not without precedence. In 1911 in the St. Louis Metro area it was 84 degrees Fahrenheit. This weekend coming up should be a rather quiet one though. Depending on the weather we may tackle some garage stuff—or maybe finish up a bit clearing out the basement. Early spring cleaning? Either way, despite this long, grueling week, we will get through it and before you know it the weekend will have flown by and be gone and we can move on to another long, dragworthy week. Hopefully it will drag less though. But we will see.

I didn't feel like it was Friday. I just feel like it has been a really long week. I will survive, though. lol

Sometimes time moves so slow I have to look at the calendar to see what day it is.

@porwest When you're working, time runs away with you. I took early retirement and I haven't been sorry.

I am hoping that when I retire time goes slow. Just not now. Not while I am working. lol

@RubyHawk I will likely be doing the same. May go to 55. The only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger sooner really is that the money is just too good to pass up.

@Marilynda1225 Yep. You know it. lol. I am not sure if it is intended to be fun. We do have some errands to run today (Saturday), and tomorrow hoping I get some free time to play around with a song I have been working on. We will see.

Some weeks do go very slowly. I can remember some slow weeks when I was working.

Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason. I really don't know why this week SHOULD be dragging. But it definitely is.

All the days seem to whiz by for us. I remember some days in the office where I marked down on a piece of paper how many minutes I had left. Some days seemed to have no end!! I feel for you!

I would imagine in retirement the days whizz by like weekends do now. Overall, the older we get the faster life seems to pass by. Still, there are days. lol
