Why Can't I Get Off The Couch??

Yeesh. I'm in my second week of working part time and I woke up this morning full of things to get done before work. I was up at 8am, finished coffee at 8:30...and have done nothing since. I kept thinking, "right after this, I'll get moving" and instead...nothing.

I got Ranger's nails clipped, had breakfast/lunch combo, cleaned the kitchen and that was it. Trip to the barn, trip to the bank, and trip to the pet store didn't happen. Nor did any sort of painting. I'm going to be lucky if I can get dressed and get to work on time now!! And yet, here I am...posting away...

Anyone else having a day like this?? All I want to do is read my book and snuggle with Ranger. Which is pretty much all I did yesterday!!

Yep!!!

Got up at the usual time this morning...6:00. Fed the dogs, put them out for a pee/poo and then decided I was too tired to get ready for work so e-mailed the office saying I was going to be late. Crawled back in bed with my crew and got up at 9:30. Got ready for work, took the boys' supper out of the freezer, dropped off their agility lessons payment, picked up dog food and now here I am at work.

I definitely like the idea of being at home curled up with my boys!!!

My holiday weekend was like that....

And I wanted to ride my horse!

In my case, I'm dealing with seasonal allergies. My head + ears feel fuzzy. I slept all Sunday and Monday. Even today I just want to go home and sleep. Ugh.

Just random - I even had a guilt complex about staying home and sleeping instead of barn tripping, because I dreamt my barn lady called my dad, refused to talk or deal with me, and announced she had just sold my horse to one of her lesson kids. Ack.

Haha welcome to my daily life.

I dont work though so I have the luxury of being a lazy bum daily, especially because our house is so small that cleaning it takes like 2 hours tops and thats a full out pulling the couches aparts and everything else and going all out. I will be painting at some point though but its only one wall I dont have the amount of painting that you do unfortunately I enjoy painting.

If it were me Id say enjoy the laziness and relax with Ranger...But since you have to work GET OFF THE COUCH lol...

I think it goes hand in hand with the change in weather. Although....

Dan has been retired for 5 years and I'm still trying to come to terms with the no schedule aspect of it all. I get nothing done, the house is a mess. I used to be up a 5, got him off to work, made dinner, cleaned kitchen. Had the bed made, vacuum run and off to the barn by 10. Back home at 2. Lunch. Do some yard work or cut grass or play with Penny (sometimes I took a nap ) and then dinner.

Now I get up at 8 or so, have tea until 10. Maybe workout. Go to the barn and do chores. Maybe ride. Come home. Have tea. Rustle up some supper. I don't bother making super anymore. 44 years. The warm fuzzy feeling from feeding my man has worn off.

I could keep my old schedule but I'm not going to be tearing around here cleaning up when he's reading a book, or on the computer of sleeping until 10.

if I was home right now, not at work, I'd be lazing on the couch or bed for sure.

Maybe you're thinking of EVERYTHING you need to be doing at once and it's causing you to not want to do any of it. Instead, maybe try just choosing ONE thing on your list to do and say "i'm just going to do that today." If you do it and want to stop, then fine. But sometimes, I've found once I get going on a project, I will keep going and do other things too. Just my two cents!

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one! It's almost like I have so much time now that I don't know what to do with myself...so I do nothing!!

(I did eventually make it to work, though. I was even here early)!

firedancer722 - that is good advice...I'll think of that when I go home and want to snuggle with Ranger instead of being productive!
