Finished Almost No Have Tos Today

So many have to’s.
I have done the minimum.
Preferring my day.
To keep as my own.
Holding on to integrity.
Tomorrow may be my last.
I might not even last the night.
I congratulate myself
Wasting no time
On things I despise.

Guess I could benefit from a few 'have-tos.' Thought today was Sunday all day! Cheers, Gershon

I have to say yesterday was a "have to day" and totally wasted on frustration and stress because my company issued computer will not do what I want. An IT has to update Windows10 before it can, and I have asked the IT desk to do this in writing 3 times in 5 weeks. GRRRRR

I was pretty good up until yesterday when this all Fell down a cliff into a den of wild coyotes.
