Was feeling pretty down yesterday for no known reason and decided to do nothing. Of course, when I say that what I really mean is to do nothing important. Here are my top 10 time wasters:
10) Read the million of catalogues that have been piling up on my desk. Go through each, earmark the pages of things I may want to buy and then toss them all out into the recycle bin.
9) Walk through each room of the house with a notebook and pen. Sit in the most central place in the room (even if on the floor) and write down everything that needs to be repaired (I live in a house that is over a century old so this list can be large). When finished, walk quickly through each room again and realize the house if fine. Toss list into recycle bin.
8) Google vacations. (We need to think about where to go this Spring Break as missed vacation last year to concentrate on the boat. I am in dire need of a beach.) Make a list of the best islands for diving, water sports, and beaches. View every photo available. Decide it is too much to decide right now. Toss the list into the recycle bin.
7) Open refrigerator and stare at food options. Open freezer door and do the same. Walk to downstairs refrigerator and repeat process. Go back to first refrigerator and throw our all food that is hairy, limp or wet.
6) Go to each closet. Find the clothes I love that do not fit and simply hold them up to me. Try on some other clothes and throw them on the bed or floor. Go through Max and Matty's closets taking the old and ugly out. Make a bag for St. Vincent dePaul, a bag for the trash, a bag for my sister-in-law. Put questionable bags in spare room and leave them for next clothing fit.
My recycle and garbage bins are now full, have to switch to other time wasters.
5) Look at book shelve in library. Collect books recommended by Matthew that I have not yet read and make a pile. Go to shelves in Living Room and Bedroom making more piles. Get all piles together and put next to bed. Realize I do not feel like reading, leave room.
4) Open up all the boxes of crafts up stairs and think about what I want to make. Handle fabric, ball yarn and review patterns. Check status of paints, brushes and canvases. Sit and think of all the things I could make. Too many options, plan on looking at it another day.
3) Search for a job. Go to the online boards and find my perfect job. Write a cover letter, attached resume and email to myself. I am not going back to work just yet...and certainly not moving to LA.
2) Go through exercise magazines cutting out specific butt/abs exercises. Do this in the basement next to the dusty Bow Flex. Try to do one or two (note I have not put on work out clothes so this is half ass at best). Realize they could work but that I don't feel like working out. Leave mags and cut outs on floor next to 5 pound weights.
1) Run a hot bubble bath, turn the volume up super loud on a favored opera, pour a glass of wine and soak until my skin is melting.
Day wasted but I feel better. :-)
