Me. Rich. This is not a joke.
I’ve amassed a big, fat, disgusting fortune by scrimping and saving whenever and wherever I could. With careful budgeting, cutting corners here, trimming spending there, and acting the tight-fisted miser, I managed to stash away quite a bundle. And now, today, I’m cashing in. I have an entire day to spend any way I want; it’s mine, all mine. Ka-ching, jackpot!
Why, I can read comic books all day if I want to. Eat pizza and ice cream. Make prank calls. 
Take a long winter’s nap. Binge-watch Looney Tun— why are you looking at me like that?
Oh-oh-oh, I get it, you thought I meant money rich. Ew, no. I’m talking about time, the greatest, most luxurious commodity there is. And I have a ton of it on my hands this afternoon and evening. A ton. I’m practically rolling in minutes and hours; I’m loaded with the stuff; I reek of idle moments, frankly. They’re mine to spend as I see fit. So, ha, I’m out of here. Adios, you poor things.

I did. Then Monday rolled in and reality came flying back with all its demands. Still, the memories linger 😌

Excuse me, guv. Could you spare some time? You see I need to iron my shirts and practice my guitar, I have to prepare for a meeting and I have a hungry blog to support and I don’t know what else. I’m only asking for a minute or two …

Enjoy them while you can. Unfortunately, they disappear as if by magic. Poooff!

They’re few and far between, that’s for sure. Like sunny summer afternoons, idle time is more precious than gold. Or Snickers bars.
