Every time I stand up, an invisible hour glass turns over. Nobody can see it, so you have no idea how much sand is in it, or how fast it’s running out.

But when it runs out, I’m done.

Bonus: Every time it resets, it’s a different size. Maybe this one is bigger? Maybe this one is smaller?

Nobody knows until it runs out.

    I can’t decide which is worse - the little one that runs out faster than you were expecting, or the unexpected big one that tricks you into doing too much and wearing yourself out for multiple days afterwards 🫠

      And when it HASN’T run out, it encourages you to do more “because who knows when I’ll get the chance again…”

        Yep. It was one of those buggers that got me last week. I’m not saying that I’m getting old, but I’m still recovering…
