Even though we try to hold it to one, life keeps no schedule.

This is what I keep telling everyone and also about how the seasons give less than zero fucks about our calendar, and yet people continue whining about time is getting away from them and how it's been the hottest this or coldest that or driest other thing or wettest yet other thing on record and I'm like hello it moved how are you not noticing XD

I am pretty sure that if I just had to look after myself, my tendency for procrastination would overpower my will to work eventually and I would end up doing the bare minimum to survive, rather all I can to thrive.

I highly doubt that you would ever do the bare minimum in anything for any reason XP If you didn't have the family I think you'd still be working your arse off doing the best you can do but it's possible you might not have discovered hive (or maybe but might have put off investigating til later, crypto is a scam after all) and might still be spending your downtime mostly gaming and watching Netflix instead.

Does she just sleep if sick? Mine will usually just sleep for hours til they're better so even if we're stuck home when they're sick I can still usually get stuff done because they're sleeping anyway. Hope the lurgy buggers off soon and you're able to cram in sleep and whatever prep work you need to do for your thing, and if it persists when you need to do deliveries that you can do them from home or alternately that wifey's startup is intelligent enough to realise that sometimes stuff happens and let her work from home while you're delivering.
