sunday. sun. c'mon god, really.

After spending yesterday in absolutely unproductive ways (ie sleeping, movies, reading), woke early this morning with intent to be v. busy. Was disheartened to wake up to gray skies and drizzle. But it's SUNDAY. Sun. Get it? What is this shit??

Totally disappointed but nonetheless committed to being un-lazy, dragged sleepy ass out of bed, made breakfast for slave-to-his-job roommate and set about cleaning the house. Put on This Weather Sucks soundtrack (Carpenters Rainy Days and Mondays, Mamas and the Papas California Dreamin' etc) and then suddenly realized, it was not helping the situation. So instead, threw in favorite dance mix, cleaned the apartment to Madonna, J-Lo, Justin et al. Much better.

Also found time for a little yoga, which have been ignoring lately. Will be the first to tout the benefits of a good yoga session (whether it be power yoga or meditation), but am also the first to forget to make time for it. Now am feeling all limber and stretched out and v. energized. And it's only noon! So many hours left in which to be v. productive. Must ignore siren song of new book and big soft chair, though. They can be quiet persuasive.

Have dinner plans this evening as well -- the perfect end to a rainy day, to be sure.

Days filled with sleeping, movies, and reading are not unproductive. They are good for the spirit. (As long as they do not occur EVERY day, in which case you are just lazy.)

The Princess Bride makes a perfect ending to a rainy day, too (so would the Muppet Movie, but we won't bring THAT back up) :)

I think doctors should PRESCRIBE lazy days at home, like, on a regular basis. Sometimes, I used to call in well to work. "I just feel way too good to come in today." And then I'd spend the day doing (or not doing) whatever what I wanted. If you can get over the feelings of guilt (they're not your voice - they're society's voice squatting inside your head - kick them out girl!), it is tremendously healing to the soul. Good for you. I'm jealous.
