Why, when we come home after a protracted journey (as I did at 5:30 this morning) do we say "I've been up for 36 hours!"
Up? Who are we kidding?
I am so not "up". I am so far from up in my present blotto-state that I am hardly able to remain upright.
But as a retired person, it doesn't really matter. If I can hardly recall my own name, or if I have to sit down to rest after folding the clean socks, who cares? I am free to indulge my jet lag for as long as I want. I can abandon that laundry, or check email tomorrow and no one will report me to the sleep police.
Besides, I've already made it to 9'oclock.
I'm outta here. YAWN.....
Feeling better after some sleep?
