My house is neat and clean (not counting the furor that always surrounds my computer desk) and I have nothing of note to do today. It's the sort of day that makes the casino call out to me but I can't afford to go. Faye, Mary, and I have a free room at the Fallsview casino later this month and that's where my casino dollars will be spent.
I've always loved these do-nothing days. Of course, there's always something that could be done but nothing here that is screaming for attention so I'm just going to enjoy the leisure. Years ago, I had many do-nothing days that made me feel guilty because there really was work that needed doing but I chose to ignore. Those were the depression years and my mindset was one where I was too sad to enjoy anything. Now, I'm a happy camper who takes pleasure in doing whatever I'm doing...either working hard or having a do-nothing day.
I slept in late this morning. This has become a nasty habit since I had my cold last week and one I don't want to keep. Early mornings are invigorating for me because it gives me lots of time to fiddle around with the computer before I actually have to get some work done around the house. It's also pleasing to watch the sun rise and light up the world.
Do-nothing or not, I still make plans for how I'll spend the day. I'm thinking that lunch out sounds good and then some Swedish weaving. I also need to make a few phone calls in preparation for my trip to Florida. It's still cloudy and damp out with threat of another rainfall so I'll wait a few days to plant the seeds Donna brought over. With luck, there'll always be another day to do whatever needs doing...just not today.
