Okay this "fun work train" needs to let him the fuck off, three days of no numbers when he never missed a day, for over two years.
He's too old to do something like this, I am concerned.Let the man live a little.
His birthday is one off from mine, I know what it means and what's at risk here. 😒
He sticks to daily routines for a reason, he professes it as a part of his lifestyle for keeping things organized and on track as a blurry, dream-like thinker. What starts as one day becomes three becomes a week... and then the habit's gone and feels three times as hard to pick up again.
