I hafffffta tell you this... That bit about weekdays stunned me! That's how I used to spend my boring food court cashier days midst graduate college peddling of other kids my take on the weekdays! Mann! You brought back a bunch of mems back!

I used to say, Monday's terrible being the the first day of the week, Tuesday's a little less terrible, but what's Wednesday doing sitting right in the middle of the week? What Should we do on a Wednesday but twiddle our thumbs for Thursday, which is the harbinger of Friday..

And wohoooo it's feckin Friday yayy!

Ate you sure you ain't a Gemini?

Wednesday is problematic, and we all know it! What about Sunday though? Do you feel like it's a positive day or is it too close to Monday to be fully embraced?

Aww I've got mixed feelings about Sunday... Love the weekend but hate Sunday evenings, the dread of Monday and a whole week until another weekend keeps my spirits low... Not a fan of Sunday evenings :(

Wait wait wait. How old are you? Because although Bitcoin was created around 2009-2010, nobody outside of academic coagulations of nerds really knew about it until around 2014. And if you were twelve years old around that time, that would mean you're younger than me, and that's just not a reality I'm willing to accept at this point in my life.

Haha, I'm hurtling through my 30's at light speed my friend!

But those things were future worries, not worries I had as a 12-year old. So my cancer diagnosis, crushing house price stress, and the confusion of Bitcoin would all come as I grew up.

In my school days, the only coins I worried about were chocolate ones.

Ah, yes, rereading it that seems clear to me now.

It's funny how sometimes you miss things which are obvious in retrospect, and while pondering your oversight you have to remind yourself that you're NOT an irredeemable buffoon and mistakes like these happen to everyone on occasion.

Right? It's not just me, right?

Mate, I'm constantly having to remind myself that I am not the sole proprietor of doing dumb sh*t. I feel you!

I find that all I have to do is state my political beliefs, and chaos ensues. 😱😉

Thanks for the laughs as always! 🤣
