My life today

Getting old sucks. I am 53 years old, I work in a warehouse in the shipping and receiving dept. It is backbreaking manual labor. When I was younger it was hard, but still easier than it is now. Nowadays this job just destroys me every day.

I used to love to read, it was always my favorite hobby, ever since I was a little kid. I haven't read a book since I was 40 years old now. That's 13 fucking years. I am just too tired after work. Too tired to even read. So I usually will just watch television. Sit on the couch with my tired old dog and watch TV.

I watch a lot of reruns of old shows. Classic Star Trek every Saturday night at 9:00pm. I work second shift so I watch TV in the mornings. Leave it to Beaver at 8:00am and I Dream of Jeannie at 8:30am. I am almost always watching MeTV. It is one of the free over the air broadcast channels I get. I don't have the cash for cable. So it is mostly old shows, new shows almost all suck. Bobs Burgers is good though, I watch that, and the Simpsons. I've been watching the Simpsons since before they had their own TV show, back when they were just a short segment on the Tracy Ulmen show in the late eighties.

I don't know. Things just shouldn't be this hard. I shouldn't have to worry about having a serious health issue and becoming homeless or losing my job and in turn losing my house. It's all just too hard and it shouldn't be. Our civilization is barbaric and totally lacking in empathy. A  bucket of crabs.
