2 days naked.......

I've been without a watch (specifically a Rolex) at all for 2 days now and I'm feeling quite vulnerable, its a strange insecure feeling.

It is almost like I've lost part of my persona or identity.

Both days I've been in a hurry to get out the door. Last night I had HGH booster and I slept like a baby. Woke up and was running very late for work to get to Court....Anyway I made it, but in the panic I forgot all about my watch.

Anyway I won my cases (2) today so all is good. I did a lot of work to prepare.

How do you feel when you suddenly realise "Oh no what the heck I don't have my watch on today!!!!!!!!!"

Me being a 'spring chicken' is only relative to the person commenting Robster.....
