Time Off

It's a great concept. I just don't seem to get any. In theory I work part-time since getting my early retirement. Last week I could have worked 8 days out of 5. This week I'll have worked every day except today (Wednesday), and I would have worked that if I hadn't had to have my new crown fitted.

Then I visited my cousin George. He's existing, but you couldn't say he's living. When the nurse left, she said, "See you later," and he replied, "The later the better" - typical George quick-wittedness, even though he didn't even appear to be awake at the time. He wants to go, but he's not getting his wish.

I don't want to think it takes George's funeral to make me refuse a day's work, so I really have to start saying no.
