There are any number of serious disadvantages to not having regular employment, some quite obvious and some that wouldn’t necessarily occur to one.
But right now, only for this moment, they pale in comparison to the fact that, having woken up an hour ago and been very sad that Saturday was already half over, I just realized it’s Friday.
I suspect I’m in for some of that now – I finally took early retirement on Friday. I don’t I’ll know one day from the next now.
