no more shoulds or musts

there are no more shoulds or musts because I am retired now, every minute of every day is a choice I choose to play, to paint, to cartoon, to enjoy my dogs I turn into a vegetable in front of a TV set I stay up all night sleeping during the day getting cranky when someone turns on a lawnmower I am so nonproductive it borders ridiculous remember the cleaning I was going to do? I have done no cleaning when I die the children can burn this house down I do not care I am a slug I have earned the right.
