Work has been bearable. I've been rather productive but feeling rather lethargic. Probably because I stopped running since a few weeks back. I'm trying to work out a schedule where I can reach home at about 7 plus, eat dinner, watch some tv, practise piano and violin for about 1 1/2 hours, also make time for a run and then have some time to cool down and then bathe. But it doesn't seem to be workable? I can run only after about 2 hours after dinner and I usually don't get to eat dinner until about 8 p.m. or so. Anyway, I'll see how it goes. Actually I've been feeling rather tired but I'm happy I go to bed each night knowing that I did etc. etc. etc. in the day.
Yawn. I'm really quite tired and should really be bathing soon.
The recent talk about raising the retirement age to 65 - I don't think it's feasible and I hope it doesn't get passed. I was on the bus this morning and this thought came to mind - it's like pulling the finishing line further and further away when the marathoner is about to reach it. Then he passes out.
It's rather sad if you think about how you've waited much of your life to withdraw a measly payout during retirement age. And then they go and raise the retirement age further and you have no choice but to wait. Either you die before you get the payout or your savings go to your beneficiaries.
Anyway, a colleague passed away at the age of 57 yesterday. Sigh.

Like what YJ said - we never know where the finishing line is until it's right in front of us.
Of course it doesn't mean that we should simply give up on the race. It's more of running it the way we love to and want to.
