I am starting to get Woody Allen type Neurosis about traveling ...

[decocritter]

I have an open invitation to St. Simons...should have left today, but things keep coming up.

I think I throw obstacles in my own way. My house isn't clean enough, I will have bills to pay while I am gone, etc. What if I get in an accident or sick and someone has to deal with my stuff? After all it is a 5 hour drive and anything could happen .....

You know, just stupid stuff. Maybe I just don't want to leave home, but I really do want to go visit my friends.

This syndrome seems to get worse with age, as I used to pick up and go on a moments notice. I get nervous and anxious, lose sleep over it, etc.

The car is gased up, oil is changed, I am doing laundry and paying bills. I have time to do damage control to the house and leave at my leisure in the morning.

Go. When you are gone, your bills and such won't reminisce about the great time you had together. When your friends are gone, you'll regret that you put dust and paperwork ahead of them.

Sorry to be so morbid, but there has been much illness and death around me lately and I'm trying to remember to take advantage of happy opportunities when they present themselves.

Go. Enjoy your friends and family when you can. Your bills and such will never reminisce about the great time you had together. If you don't have the opportunity to see your friends again for a long time, you'll regret that you put dust and paperwork ahead of them now.

Sorry to be so morose, but there has been much illness and death around me lately and I'm trying to remember to take advantage of happy opportunities when they present themselves.

Ugh. Sorry about the duplicate. I got that Phorum error and thought I lost my post. At least the 2nd one wasn't as morbid.

To continue the morbid theme.

Someone recently told me to think of life in terms of months not years. I've burned up a good bit of my statistical span already. I have a statistical 300 months left give or take a bit. Of that maybe 200 with good health. Means I should just do it. The dishes can wait.

Do your own maths and see if itis worth waiting...

According to them I overestimate my remaining time by about 60 months ... better stop posting here and go and do something real. And real quick...

Frightening...

Hmmm. Entering my information and then clicking "Check..." several times (without changing the information) gave me death dates of more than 8 years different. I must be aging reallllllly fast!

I just hit the big 50...don't get me started with mortality rates.
