Lazy Plans

Filed in: blog

I am enjoying “lazy.” I’ve done little today but take care of Rachel, read email and the paper, nap, and play a couple games of solitaire. I have ambitions of being industrious . . . but at 1:30, I’m still sighing and dreaming. I did take out the garbage (the refrigerator was becoming unbearable) and put in a load of clothes, which I just heard cut off. Time to toss them in the dryer and put another load in to wash.

Rachel is still “not well.” Her chronic congestion has gone on for about a month now, and she has good days, but mostly we just barely keep it at bay. No signs of infection, just lots of drainage. I keep hoping for a really heavy rain followed by a heavy frost. I think that’s what it will take to clear our air of any remaining fall floaters. Having one ear constantly on alert for how she sounds, however, makes even “lazy” days a touch tense.

I did finish decorating the tree last night, except for icicles (which I need to buy). My plans are to update my website and work on Clues. I have the text almost complete, and the new headshot is ready (see the extended entry here). I just need to finalize the text and the instructions and get them off to the designer.

Sometimes, though, I think we need a lazy day or two, just to recharge a few of the batteries, both creative…and just because we’re human. After all, even God took Sunday off.

So…I think I’ll get some lunch. Or maybe a nap….
