Down time

Lately I have been really braindead every weekend. Because the week is usually so busy, I have this great list of things I’d like to do over the weekend – usually involving lots of blogging, reading, and generally catching up – but by the time the weekend rolls around, I just sit like a lump and do mostly nothing.

On Friday nights I am ready for bed by about 9pm (last Friday I was in bed at 8pm – yes I am a great party animal). Then, come Saturday mornings I find myself sleeping in and not doing much of anything at all, all day. Yesterday was a case in point – I was the last out of bed, then had cups of tea and just sat around all day watching M play WoW. How’s that for activity – I didn’t even play, I just watched. We did a few other chores (shopping, fixing up a cornice in the bedroom – but I let M do most of it, like carry the shopping bags and handle the cornice with my brother), and the rest of the time I just sat around.

I can’t believe I just sat around all day yesterday!

Not sure if today’s going to be any more productive, although I have done the laundry. Maybe I need the down time…

    I agree with you that you’re due for some down time. Go for a break. You’re working way too hard. :)
