As Megan points out, that&#8217;s because I&#8217;m old and tired. Perhaps instead of going to the gym, I should be getting more rest. This could be facilitated if I had THIRTY BILLION DOLLARS. I could buy a completely upholstered house and hire someone to de-lint it on a daily basis. I could sleep whereever I wanted. I could also have another house that has TEN THOUSAND square feet of floor space. I wouldn&#8217;t need furniture. I could just spread everything out all over the floor. I wouldn&#8217;t even worry about heating costs. I could hire someone to worry for me.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, there&#8217;s a good reason I&#8217;m just old and tired and whatever is controlling the universe has made sure I don&#8217;t get that THIRTY BILLION DOLLARS.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/jumping.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/jumping-211x300.jpg\" alt=\"jumping\" title=\"jumping\" width=\"211\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2543\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hmmm.
