A Do-Nothing Day

 Everyone needs  one of these every once in a while. 

Yes, I know we just returned from 10 days at The Dells.  We did whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted, and if we didn't want to, we didn't.   In fact we spent that Saturday in the townhome, eating leftovers and whatever was in the fridge.  We didn't go outside at all.  Part of it was because the crowds at The Dells had increased for the weekend as evidenced by the large number of cars in the parking lot at The Odyssey check in.   We just wanted to avoid crowds, standing in lines for meals, and maybe increasing the possibility of having close contact with someone with COVID.   

It was all good.  We returned home relaxed and refreshed and ready to hit the ground running again.

But today is just a Do Nothing Day.  We slept late, but then we stayed up later than usual last night too.

There is nothing on our agenda today.  Every other day had something to do....taking the Escape into Unique Automotive to fix the piece that fell off when we arrived at the resort.  Picking up the car.  Hair cut for Gary.  Picking up Owen after school.  Splitting wood with Blaine and Landon.  Grocery run at Payless.  Appt at the Lafayette Nail Spa for mani AND pedi.  

But today is just laid back and relaxed.  I need days like today.  I need days to relax and re-group.  I need the absence of pressure that something needs to be done, accomplished, taken care of.  

It's cool.  Clouds are flitting across the sky (Dad would like that last sentence).  A breeze is blowing.  The fan in the living room is on.  The front door is open.   Gary is playing Solitaire on his iPad and I am going to make a Master List of things to do before Thanksgiving.  Then maybe I will do some sewing on Cooper's quilt.  

A Do Nothing Day.  Better enjoy it because from the looks of the calendar for the rest of this month and into October, there may not be another one for a long while!
