Have you ever "rested on your laurels"?

Yeah. They’re pokey. Also, I’m allergic to laurels.

Most likely. Haven’t we all?

When we finally get this.house
done you can bet I’ll be sitting on my laurels and my hardys.

@Dutchess_III GA! How’s it going?

Sooo slow. Rick ran out of gas last Christmas and never got it back. It’s hard for me to do anything physically.

Sorry to hear that!

Since the onset of the pandemic. Through the bliss of no pressing urgencies I don’t even bother answering the constant complaints about me wasting away & “sitting on my ass”. It requires too much effort. Yum! Fried chicken’s ready.

If laurels is another word for buttocks, yes.

Yes, and I have mixed feelings about it. In one way I savor it and think it’s a luxury. In another way I feel I missed out on achieving things that might have made me happy and could have earned me more money.

What made me think of it is that I am not such a lurve whore as I might formerly have been. I used to want my lurve to go up and now it’s high enough that it doesn’t matter that much. Not that it ever mattered that much but somehow it did.

Oh wow. I’m thinking of things like careers and conquering real life goals and you were talking about lurve. Lol. I misunderstood.

@JLeslie No – you didn’t. It was an open-ended Q, that thought was just what sparked it. I’m actually like you in the bigger things too; I probably didn’t push myself enough career-wise to get as high as I could have.

Oh, constantly. I have ADHD so I hyperfocus on things u til I am really really good at them, then I don’t go back. Been there done that, not interested any more.
It’s annoying as hell.
