Yep, it's Saturday night and I am writing a post to my blog. I was told this week by a very wise person that I needed to do something for myself because I rarely do. So, after going to the coast yesterday to drag our feet around in the sand and exhale some stress, wise person released me and said, "Remember to do something for yourself this weekend!"
It turns out this is something that is kind of hard to do at times. This summer has been really fun, but extremely busy too, and today was no different. I mean, I had a birthday party for a cute little kid to go to today. I have a friend in town from Colorado who I haven't seen in ten plus years. I have a dog who would probably love to go for a walk. My roomies invited me to a baseball game, had a suite to sit in and everything. And today, I just didn't want to do any of it.
Instead, I slept in really late. Took a shower at 4:00. Accepted the offer for free dinner from my roomie. Watched TV for the first time in weeks. Zoned out essentially. And it has been nice. I'll admit I had a couple moments of weakness where I texted a couple friends to see what they were doing, because at times, I feel like I always have to be doing something. But the truth is, I don't. I have about 70 more years to live. There are plenty of days to do things.
Maybe tomorrow will be one of them, but today isn't over yet...so on that note, I am going back to doing nothing.
And, while I do nothing, go listen to You Are Goodbye by Holly Conlan. I am telling you, sometimes the free song of the week on iTunes is amazing. And this is one of them.
