Being lazy

wiseheartI got up today feeling unexpectedly rested. You'd think that motivated me to get out of the house, do some therapeutic shopping and all that. You'd be wrong. I got up, glanced out into the nice, sunny (although windy and cold) weather and decided to stay in the house - and to do as little as possible. Meaning the usual Mum duty and nothing else.
And that was what I did. No cooking was needed - still had leftover Shepherd's Pie and cake - and I basically spent the day on my bed, watching inane YouTube vids, solving crossword puzzles and even writing a little bit, which hadn't happened for quite some time. It felt really good. I also made two more of the little surprise boxes (there's always a supply of empty toilet rolls), took a nice, long nap, watched some telly and generally enjoyed being lazy.
Originally, I had planned to work a bit on the dollhouse quiet book, but I managed to talk myself out of it in, oh, about ten seconds or so. *g*
Later on, I called my friend Elise, who's also the caregiver of an elderly parent, and we discussed our experiences. It's always good to talk to someone in the same position who actually understands what it means to be in permanent readiness. Even though Mum is much farther on the way of recovery, thank God.
Tomorrow will be eventful again, so I'm actually glad I allowed myself a lazy day. It was sorely needed
