There is absolutely nothing on my calendar today! How amazing is that? I want to sleep in, but alas! I cannot keep myself from opening my eyes, cannot keep my brain from turning on. I decide to read. After all, I do have a paper to write. I stay quiet until Kiel rouses, then wander to the living room to do some reading there in between laundry and dishes.
I wouldn't call it lolly gagging exactly, but it is close to that. Sugar is confused and does not know quite what to make of the whole thing. I drag the boys to Wegman's to pick up groceries, something we have not done together for a number of weeks. They are happy to load the cart, and I am happy to be at it before my energy runs out. We stock up. I wonder if we will be able to get it all in the refrigerator!
Drew is off to a birthday party, and Kiel to work on changing the oil in his car. I relish the quietness and return to the reading assignments. Before I realize it, I drift off into a nap. I wake with a start, pick up the book only to drift off again. Its OK. There is nothing pressing. I take full advantage of the break, closing the book and tipping the recliner back. Resting is as important as being productive.
Everyone needs at least one day here and there to do nothing. No guilt. Just renewal. I take a deep breath and relax. Nice.
