So It's Friday . . .
This is the day people long for, the day people greet you with well-wishes of TGIF, and make plans for the weekend. As usual, my life doesn't follow convention. If asked, I'd probably say Monday or Tuesday is my favorite day of the week, . . . but, . . . I digress . . .
UNCONVENTIONAL has always been a word that has been used to describe me -- my life, my career(s), my social circles, my very existence. I don't -- I can't -- conform to M-F / 9-5, -type lifestyles! I think I would, literally, spontaneously-combust from the pressures of that ritualized week-in, week-out zombie shuffle. Of course, this isn't to criticize anyone who does the weekly nine-to-five . . . I just don't have the personality traits to conform to the necessary parameters. (I'm sure there's medication and therapy that could get me through)
My s.o. does a six day a week, minimum 72 hour work-week each week since we bought our own business in December. My Monday through Friday is dedicated to my (more creative) business undertakings and, on Saturdays, I work at our (joint) business helping out all day. So, TGIF means nothing to me. After all day at work on Saturdays, we even attend a non-conventional, contemporary version of the regular Sunday morning service at our church on Saturday nights so that Sundays become our only day off -- together -- each week.
Last week, the temperature cooperated, and we took a six hour Harley ride through the northeast Georgia mountains and down the Ocoee River Road (where the '96 Olympic Whitewater Competition took place). This weekend, we have four "choice, prime, Grade-A" tickets to the Atlanta NASCAR race -- hopefully, the weather will cooperate, again.
