what's wrong with you?

Motivation. I've got the skills to make a lot of money, but I can't be arsed.
I just tick along and do enough to get by, rather than get up earlier and do a full day's work any more.
Just can't be arsed.
Not sure if that's wrong really..!

Whilst I have to work to have any kind of a life, I’m reasonably financially solvent otherwise and have little interest in progressing my legal career at 44. I don’t want the stress or workload.

It’s individual choice. I’m not harming anyone with my life decision.
 
Watching the latest Ricky Gervais special and he had it spot on, we are all living longer, soon there will be 100 of thousands at age 100 walking round with dementia not knowing what the fuck is going on and if predictions are right in 100 years we could live until 150 and there will be millions like that, what’s the fucking point?
 
Mrs H said to me the other day whilst she was looking at herself naked in the mirror”

“Hammo, look at me, lines across my forehead, sagging cheeks and chin, breasts have drooped so much, bingo wings uunder my arms, protruding belly, cellulite thighs, fat bottom and swollen ankles”

I just nodded in agreement, she said

“You could give me some encouragement”

So I replied

“Your eyesight is fucking spot on”.
 
Heart arrhythmia since 30, under active thyroid diagnosed on the day Tony Blair was voted in as Prime Minister, low iron count, high cholesterol, 2 types of medication for high blood pressure, but approaching 65 quite active, play golf 3 times a week (not in this weather though) and do a bit of walking.

Don't feel any of the above, they’re just conditions not diseases. However can’t see myself living to a ripe old age but it doesn’t bother me one bit, just had a scare with a couple of lumps under my armpit, was thinking the worst but thought if it was the outcome I was expecting (bit of a pessimist at times) then I’ll accept it, all clear and good to go.

I’m on meds to prevent a heart attack but my old fella had 2 so that’s the main concern for me, my second cousin died at 54 just before Christmas, he either had a heart attack and fell down stairs or fell down stairs and had a hear attack as a result of the fall, only the inquest will reveal, he broke his leg and neck, pretty gruesome really, lived alone and a horrible way to go.

It would be easier to ask what’s right with me. Just like @oakiecokie, I am wracked with disastrous health probs at 75, many of them similar to his arthritis.
But there is life in the old dog yet, just not much of it. Kept alive and optimistic by supporting a certain footy team who have done ok recently.

I remember a few years ago myself and you posting quite late in the evening/early morning because we both couldn’t sleep properly, if I remember correctly you liked a drop of whiskey late on to help the situation. I quite often leave it until early morning to go to bed and always get awoken by Mrs H who gets up at 7:30 so I’m probably on about 5/6 hours kip every night.

As you and @KS55 say, you just keep going, live life everyday, laugh as much as possible, give the people you have time for a hug when you see them and don’t waste time on people who have no respect for you, the path of life has a lot more behind us FOC’s than there is in front of us, don’t waste those next steps.
