For a number of reasons that I won’t disclose here, the past week has been tough. I was very frustrated and upset for a lot of it, and so I am really glad that the weekend arrived. I’ve had some time to relax and decompress, and am feeling much calmer. Most of the issues that arose during the week have been sorted out, and I don’t feel like my life is spinning out of control anymore. In short, I am doing much better; I just wanted to say that before moving on to the rest of this post.
Today was a fantastically lazy day. I think it’s been months since I just relaxed all day and accomplished almost nothing. The hubby and I were out last night with some friends, so I slept much later than normal this morning. When I finally got out of bed and got ready for the day, I was all set for my usual Saturday routine of lots of cleaning and housekeeping. And then… nothing happened. It was a hot, humid day, and our house has no air conditioning and poor air circulation. Even with our ceiling fans on high, on hot days the house can be stifling.
Today was just such a day, and when you combine warmth with sleep deprivation, it makes for a very sleepy day. I managed to wash some dishes and get two loads of laundry done before my routine fell apart. We watched an episode of Planet Earth (which, by the way, is amazing — I highly recommend it) and then both fell asleep. Eventually I woke up, read a few chapters of The Confusion, and promptly fell back asleep again. When I woke up again, it was time to make dinner. We played some Guitar Hero after dinner, and have just been reading and browsing the web since then.
It’s now after midnight, and I feel like I got nothing done today. It’s great.
