Sometimes you just need a day...

(Lucy in front of the door before I left for work yesterday. Maybe she was trying to tell me I should just stay home.)

You know how sometimes after you get back from a vacation you need a vacation from your vacation? Well, sometimes after the weekend is over, you still need some more time. I took yesterday afternoon off and it gave me the "guts" to take today off too. I almost never take a sick day and seriously, sometimes you just need to- like I said yesterday, even if you aren't all that sick.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Okay, so Lucy was just sitting in my lap and she typed the above. Well actually, she typed about twice that many and then I deleted some and added the period. Without knowing it, because she's a cat, she exemplified my morning of sleeping in. Which was quite lovely.

(Blurry birdie.)

Then I got up and ate breakfast and watched Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. Oh dear, I know, but it makes me nostalgic and sometimes you just need to be that way... even though it doesn't particularly help whatever rut you might be in.

I'm feeling much better than I was yesterday at this time. It's cool outside, but the sun is shining. Lucy and I have been looking over the spring cleaning list I prepared a few weeks ago and which was supposed to start being checked off yesterday. I'm going to work on it today. Because sometimes sick days don't mean resting by way of sleep and chicken noodle soup; sometimes resting means taking a day that you wouldn't have otherwise had to do some cleaning, write or read, cuddle with your kitties, watch a stupid movie, and overall just rejuvenate yourself and your surroundings. So that is what I'm going to do.

I may even add a walk in the sunshine.

And then tomorrow I'll (hopefully) go back to work refreshed.

Happy Tuesday!
