Old Man

I awoke this morning, a Sunday, with nothing to do.  My family is overseas, I finished my "honey-do" list, the house was cleaned and ready for their return.

I literally could do anything (or nothing) with my morning.  I could have donuts, bacon, and scotch for breakfast.  I could lay around in my pajamas eating candy and cake while watching 14 hours of NFL playoff coverage.  Instead, I found myself eating grape nuts with chia seeds, flax seed powder, and unsweetened rice milk while prepping vegetable stir-fry for my dinner.

I am so fucking old.  Oh, also pathetic.  Don't forget pathetic.  And lame.

I literally don't know how I can proceed from here.  I'm not even 35 yet.  What will I do at 40, 50, 60?  I figure I'll just check myself into the nursing home in about 8 years and patiently await death.  So at least I've got that to look forward to.
