Worser nature
A quilted tea-cozy, because it's raining on the snow, and I wanted to see something bright and cheery.
I'm glad the snow is going away. I'm glad I'm not going anywhere today. So far this morning, I have lain fallow, done Jack-shit, flopped around in my bathrobe, petted the kitties, and napped. This may wind up being a pajama day, and if DH weren't out working his butt off, there would be many more of the same. I am slothful by nature. I wallow in indolence. I am an Olympic quality layabout. I haven't even turned on the TV yet. I can spend a whole day with no more entertainment than a blanket, a sofa and a window.
Maybe I'm coming down with something. I have been bone-achingly weary the past few days, and though I know I OUGHT to exercise, clean house, run laundry, write, knit, sew, be productive and contribute to society - the siren song of the recliner is so sweet and loud that it's almost impossible to deny. The only thing that might keep me from more sleep is some food. First I'll eat, then I'll nap. You know, sometimes you just gotta give in to your worser nature.

I'd describe that as your better nature and caring for yourself. I am home now and looking forward to being a layabout the rest of the day.

We missed your bright presence at Chrysalis today.

I actually plan to have days like that. Sunday, I just sat around in sweat clothes (I did shower just to be kind to my family) and then I literally sat in one spot all day doing practically nothing. It was wonderful.
When my body feels that tired, I am learning (after all these years) to give in to it and let it rest. I could give you a run for that Olympic gold medal.

I had a PJ day last Sunday and I always feel better after one. It's like recharging my energy battery. Enjoy the day!!!

I glanced at the posts in my reader today (without actually reading the words.). And thought damn, that Roxie is at it again...always doing something. Tonight while waiting for sleep I get the true story. I believe the delay was a karmic gift because I would have been so jealous.

The tea cozy is sweet--and hopefully cheers you as you needed!
