What I call a 'dumb day'

And that is what today was.  Or has been so far since it isn't over yet.

What constitutes a 'dumb day'?  These things:

• staying in pjs for the bulk of the day with no desire to dress in regular clothes
• sitting in the recliner with no purpose
• using the laptop or iPhone or iPad or a combo of the three to do what?  Play BINGO, check FB, check Dotti's, check emails.  Nothing constructive.
• reading (which isn't a waste of time) and hopping back and forth between narratives, never finishing anything or staying focused enough to do so
• looking at the clock and thinking "Wow!  How did it get to be 2:00 already?  I haven't accomplished anything."
• sorting the laundry, putting in a load, then letting that load sit in the washer for a few hours, missing the opportunity to actually catch up on all the dirty clothes and towels and whatevers
• thinking at 9:00 a.m. that you should really go outside and walk around the house and take in the nice cooler weather----and still be thinking that at 5:30 p.m. since it hasn't been done yet
• checking vacation sites for 'Things to do in Memphis" and suddenly not really caring whether you make a list or not
• watching episode upon episode of "Law & Order: SVU" and not realizing just how many you have watched until you start to think about it
• finding out that if you have just seen an episode of "Blue Bloods" on one station that you can switch to another for a different episode, then you realize that you just saw this one too!

Ok..nothing with these things in singular or occasionally, but when ALL of them happen in one day, there is a problem.

One of my biggest fears about retirement is having more Dumb Days stacking one on top of another.  Something needs to change.

Argument - this is the first day we have had NOTHING scheduled in the last two weeks (and I did plan to go to the Pulaski County Retired Teachers Breakfast this morning but decided to sleep later instead, which I did).

I have plenty of things to do here, such as reading and quilting and cleaning out more drawers and knitting. Plus the weather is beautiful and I should have been outside more.  I could have mowed the lawn today, but I just didn't want to do it. :(

But it was a Dumb Day and I don't want more of these in the near future.  Now I think I will go out to the kitchen and make pizza for dinner.
