Tbf it's working so far. Just a few ... decades to go, oof.
I try to be rationale but things like this is all I have.
Get through this week? For what? Facing next week? No thanks.
Explain "get through"...
How would you define *getting through", and how does this make you feel?
Do you think you can see beyond the human term "one week" or "seven days"?
How about I place you on a different planet with longer or shorter weeks . . . .
And tomorrow’s Monday.
