old world syndrome...

Days are slow and nights are often spent in dreamless abandon. You wake up in a monotonous routine and go to sleep in the same almost boring fashion. No phones that ring disturb your precious morning sleep and no list of tasks to occupy your cherished afternoons. You eat when you want and even when you don't want to. You drink when you feel like it. And you sleep as if there is no night to fill. 

I had often wondered how I would fare in the old world...

and now I have my answer.
