We figured out what we want in order to be productive in life!

So earlier this week Jon and I figured out a few things that would really help us to become much more productive in life. Here goes.

1. The ability to function without any sleep. We have to spend about 8 hours a night to function at our best and we can't seem to work to our fullest potential when we are even feeling sleepy. Imagine what we could do with those extra 8 hours.
2. The ability to function without eating. Not only will this free up the actual time spent eating, but also free up time spent preparing food, grocery shopping and doing dishes. All activities that are a pain in the ass.
3. The ability to function without bathing and have an unlimited supply of clean cloths on hand. Showering and getting ready for a day at work or a night out ranges from 10 to 30 minutes. Always being clean and always having clean cloths would save that time. And there would be no need to do laundry, another pain in the ass activity!
4. Maintaining a healthy physique without spending time at the gym. I do enjoy the gym, but imagine how that time could be used if it did not have to be spent at the gym.
5. Functioning without the need to use the bathroom. Let's face it... POOPING TAKES TIME! Time that could be spent else ware.
6. And finally... Teleportation. Commuting to work and having to walk from building to building, office to office and lab to lab... all a pain in the ass.

That's it. So basically, we want to be gods. Is that so much to ask!

Lately I have been functioning while being stretched pretty thin. Hence why I have been contemplating these things that will never be attained. Oh well. All I can do it keep at it.

Yesterday was a much needed break from the day to day struggles with the many aspects of my life. More on that later.

Yesterday Emily and I played miniature golf. It had been on our "to do" list for date ideas for quite some time. The place we played at also had a golf driving range. So we bought a bucket of balls and took some shots. Neither one of us are particularly talented golfers, but it was fun to fake it.

We then went to "Lollypop farm" which is a humane society for dogs, cats and other animals in need of new owners. I think there were about 6 dogs that Emily wanted to take home. There were also a couple of goats in the farm animal area that were fighting for my attention and eating my shorts, no joke!

We went to church late in the afternoon. I must mention here that we were entertained through mass by a small blond haired girl about 2 years old who kept making faces and smiling at Emily and I. I think that Emily just has a natural attractive quality with children and they gravitate to her has a result. I always tell her she will make a great teacher and mother someday.

We wrapped up the Saturday with a very fancy dinner at the Mendon House with Emily's family for her parents 25th anniversary.

And now... another work week!
