Today I was granted with an unexpected gift - some ME time!
The 'hubby' was invited last minute to a golf game, which for a change started at a normal hour of the day - bonus!
The question I was left with - how to spend those few priceless hours -
1) A bout of spring cleaning?
2) Catch up on the washing and/or ironing?
3) Untangle the shoes & bags & shoes hiding under the bed, behind the sofa and in the wardrobes?
The above options really struck me as things that can be done anytime -which one normally partakes in when football is on the tellybox -apart from the shoes & bags -which I feel for my safety must stay hidden - in this case safety is not in numbers!
So, I continued pondering -
4) Write the next best selling novel
5) Catch up on some reading
6) Discover a cure for something really, really important!
7) Potter about in the garden
These options seemed a much better way to while away my time - however the lack of sun put pot to the gardening idea, after the last hectic scriptfrenzy month needed a wee break from writing. The lack of science lab and test tubes, lab coats and all things sciencey (SP?) kinda puts the kybosh on that plan - which meant the reading -whoo - that then lead to:
a) Which book to start with
b) SCI Fi / Romance / Thriller etc
c) Where the hell are all the books (Spare room, living room, bathroom & piled up with the gas meters!)
At this rate - was going to spend all the time debating with myself (whilst a good debate, but getting nowhere) instead of doing something - so I:
i) Made a big cup of tea
ii) Went back to bed
iii) Watch a film I had recorded - (Officer & a Gentleman - MmmmMmmm)
iiii) Sneaked the cats into the room and curled up with them (!)
iv) Discovered that cats snore
v) Had a nice long soak in the bath
vi) Painted nails
vii) Caught up on some downloaded programmes
Also managed to jot down some ideas for the best selling novel (watch this space!), and is currently having another cup of tea whilst pondering on what to cook for dinner...
Do I...
Tee hee
Sounds like an excellent way to spend the day! It may not have been outwardly productive but I'm sure it did wonders for your inner being :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd with the World Cup almost upon us, you'll have plenty of time for all those chores!
