Fantasy Land

This post will not be inspirational or helpful.  I'm not looking for answers or how to adjust my schedule, maximize my time, blah, blah, blah.  Just hoping to maybe get and "amen."

Alright.  How many of you hate washing clothes?  How about buying food, preparing the food, watching it get devoured in 1/20th of the time it took to prepare?  What about all that time sleeping?  I'm not saying I don't enjoy the rest that comes from sleeping, but really, what could we do with all that time?

I am just way frustrated with all of the duties required to maintain our pitiful human selves.  Really.  We are fragile.  We have to be fed, cleaned, clothed, rested.  All that time and energy just spent staying alive.  I want more time at the top of Maslow's pyramid, up at the top where "self actualization" is.  Aaaaargh.

So when I'm getting fed up (pun intended) I like to say, "If I were ruler of the universe, eating and sleeping would be done away with.  Unnecessary.  Optional.  If you want to spend hours every day gathering food, preparing it, eating it, cleaning up after it,  then great.  Do it.  If you want to prepare food from time to time in a very thoughtful way and enjoyed in the company of loved ones, great.  Do it.

Sleeping would be optional.  Want to shut the world out for a while and reboot?  Great, do it.  Having to sleep 6-9 hours per night to keep from going insane and eventually dying, forbidden.

Clothing would also be optional.  In my universe, nudity would mean nothing.  Therefore, no need for clothes unless you want to be warm outdoors or keep from getting a sunburn.  Not as much laundry.

As I get older, I realize all sorts of things I want to do with my life.  These nuisances of eating, sleeping and washing stuff just gets in my way.  Ask me about this in a week or so when I don't have PMS anymore and I'll probably be more relaxed about it.  But I know that several times a month, I'll wish for my fantasy land.  What about you?
