Ahhhhhhh Friday

Welcome to my do nothing day. I think it's the first of the summer for me. Last spring I got really good at do nothing Sundays. I would get all of my errands done on Saturdays and not touching my car keys on Sunday. The stay at home day. Do nothing. I haven't done that this summer. Katie has been home and somehow, since I have the summer off from work, I think i need to cram it full of things to do. Because, when I have time off, I am compelled to do more, get more accomplished, be more than I can be. It's a sickness. Never quite figured out what R & R is all about.

So I put Katie on a plane to Maryland yesterday. Actually I guess we don't put people on planes anymore. So yesterday I put Katie in the security screening line that would eventually lead to her getting herself on the plane. After a delay in Atlanta, she finally made it safely to Alisha's house around 2am east coast time. And Alisha was so excited to see her that she went to bed and sent her fiance' Matt to pick Katie up at the airport. That Alisha is one smart cookie. Anywho, last night the dogs & I discussed it & we decided to make today a true day off. So they let me lollygag around in bed til 8:30, took a long hot shower. crawled back into bed to play on the computer (because I can since it is an official day off!). Then I got dressed in clothes that I knew I wouldn't be caught dead in leaving the house - my baggy chartreuce sweats and matching t shirt. So if I even get tempted to get in the car and run and errand, all I need to do is look down at my clothes and decide, naaahhhhh, not today. And I have given myself permission (this is the most important part) that whatever I don't do or do do today, it will be just right. No second guessing. No shoulds. No regrets. A day off!
