Getting Older And Getting A Discount

I appreciate a discount like anyone. Money is tight for everyone. However, being reminded you are getting older and because of that you get a discount on phone service can be a reality that isn’t fun to face.

We got this in the mail from T-Mobile, and they want us to come back as customers. They highlighted the fact that I am eligible for some age-related discounts now. That depresses me a little.

Next Friday, I am turning 56, and I am a member of Generation-X. However, I have the sense of humor of a 15-year-old, the attitude of someone a little younger, but my body feels like someone in their mid 50s. It’s good to have a youthful spirit about you.

Our current phone provider serves us well. We won’t be making a change. However, I guess getting these discounts can be beneficial, just don’t want to be reminded I am getting older for reasons.

Daily Prompt – Favorite Time Of Day

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite time of day?

My favorite time of day is 4:30 Monday-Friday. Yes, that is when my workday ends. I am grateful for having a job. But, I will tell you, my job is mentally taxing and that impacts a lot of stuff. At the end of the day, I am tired. Once again, my job helps a lot of people, but I am only human, and I have my own limits.

Status Update

It’s Monday by the way. Hang in there good people.

Today Is For The Lefties – International Lefthanders Day

August 13th is International Lefthanders Day, a day for left-handed people to celebrate the cool things we do to make the world a better place. We are unique, different, and quirky. We do things differently and that is OK. To my fellow southpaws come together so no one should be left out. We must hang in there together. Always be proud to be lefties.
