No.\u00a0 You won’t find that declaration on any holiday calendar.<\/p>\n
It’s my day.\u00a0 I created it.\u00a0 I named it.\u00a0 Because that’s how I feel today.\u00a0 So I dressed the part.\u00a0 One – because I’m feeling a bit lazy today.\u00a0 Two – because it’s easy and comfortable.\u00a0 Three – because these dress down days may not last much longer if we ever get back to a “normal” workplace so I figured I would take advantage of it.\u00a0 Do I love these kinda lazy days?\u00a0 Not 100%.\u00a0 I don’t like FEELING frumpy and lazy, but not everyday needs to be a “feel good” day either.\u00a0 So I’m embracing it.<\/p>\n
It’s been “a week”.\u00a0 \u00a0After hurting my back picking out and picking up our Christmas tree last week, I have been unable to do a lot of the regular stuff.\u00a0 No exercise.\u00a0 Not much movement at all.\u00a0 I’ve been lazy and taken advantage of it.<\/p>\n
I’ve actually been a bit of a rebel this week.\u00a0 I’ve avoided cleaning the house.\u00a0 \u00a0I’ve been lazy with meal planning and execution.\u00a0 Throwing foods together at random.\u00a0 “this will have to do” (smile)<\/p>\n
I’ve been eating peanut butter straight out of the jar.\u00a0 Binge watching different shows.\u00a0 Skipping workouts.<\/p>\n
I don’t recommend this, but I think it’s necessary every so often.\u00a0 To take a break from adulting and all that you are “supposed” to do.<\/p>\n
Chocolate bar for breakfast?\u00a0 OK.\u00a0 French Mint Laura Secord I’ve had stashed away “in case of emergency”.\u00a0 Sure.<\/p>\n
NOT cleaning up after my kids.\u00a0 Check.\u00a0 Using every ounce of energy to walk past the dirty bathroom, the empty water bottles on the coffee table.\u00a0 What is this magic that my kids have where they don’t SEE the mess?\u00a0 I want that for me.\u00a0 I want to NOT see the mess.\u00a0\u00a0I play this game where I think really hard, willing them to do it with my mind, without being asked a hundred times.\u00a0 It hasn’t worked yet but I’ll keep trying.\u00a0 I love my kids.\u00a0 I just want them to WANT to clean up.\u00a0 They will hate that I even shared that.<\/p>\n
We have the Christmas tree.\u00a0 It’s real.\u00a0 \u00a0And it’s real heavy.\u00a0 Or at least it was when we picked it out last weekend and I thought I could pick it up on my own.\u00a0 My back pain tells me I shouldn’t have even tried.\u00a0 A visit to Dr. Keith at Bluewater Wellness Center and I feel so much better.\u00a0 So now we’ll be decorating this weekend.\u00a0 I’ll try not to life anything heavy.\u00a0 Now that I think of it.\u00a0 I probably shouldn’t do dishes or laundry. Or lift anything other than the tv remote.\u00a0 (smile)<\/p>\n
Tomorrow.\u00a0 Tomorrow I will get back to the real world and do the adult things.\u00a0 Tomorrow.\u00a0 Maybe before that happens I’ll get my oldest daughter to take me out for dinner tonight.\u00a0 Maybe a Happy Meal for fun.\u00a0 A tour of the lights.\u00a0 We’ll get our pj’s on and binge watch Criminal Minds or Grey’s Anatomy.\u00a0 Eat too much junk food.\u00a0 And I’ll try not to think of all that I didn’t do this week in my state of rebellion.\u00a0 That I pretty much have to catch up on this weekend.<\/p>\n
Until then –<\/p>\n
