Relaxation: I'm Doin It Rong

[serinde]

So that "nothing ambitious" bit? Yeah. Not so much.

I have done laundry (including a bunch of hand-wash), vacuumed, done the kitchen floors, put together a bunch of Ikea shelves (nearly getting buried under them in the process), rearranged the back room that is soon to be the media room (taking 2 hp of non-lethal damage from a heavy oaken furniture bit) (I'm icing the giant bruise on my leg now), gotten all the garden stuff gathered together and in a big heavy Rubbermaid bin on the back porch, and put away all the booze. Oh, and unpacked a box I forgot about. And shelved some books.

I swear to God, I kept thinking "oh, after I finish just this one thing, I'll stop and take it easy." And then suddenly it was 6:30. Oops.

However! I feel really good about everything I accomplished. The back room looks pretty good, is ready for PS2 action as soon as I get a certain cable (which spride informs me arrived at the office today, naturally), and although I haven't actually unpacked my paints, the table is ready for same. Our booze is organized and together and cocktails can ensue at whim. Wine is racked and the Good Stuff which is being lain down is hidden. Also, I learned that I can, in fact, lift a 27" TV.

Your day off sounds like mine is about to be. I'm starting with evicting all expired food from the fridge and washing the shelves. Moving on to sorting clothes and swapping summer for winter, etc. Followed by sorting and filing the monster stack of papers in the dining room. I'd be less ambitious if it were nicer out.

I constantly wonder why, on my husband's day off, he plans to work on games, draw covers, play cards and video games (fun stuff)...and I plan, on Sunday, my only day off, to wash all the hard floors in the house and clean out my son' dressers. I don't think you're doin' it rong...I think you're just obeying female nature.

The important thing is that you feel really good about everything you accomplished.

All the things you did are to prepare for future pleasure. Mmmm, cocktails!
