Periodically, I get a week off from my job. It's not paid, but a week off is a week off, right? If I must have it, I want to do something with it. I always start off with a huge list of things I want to get done.
You probably know where this is going.
It is Thursday already, and I have less than half done that I wanted to. Probably less than a third. Maybe a quarter... Errands that shouldn't take much time end up taking an hour longer. A workman has to come to the house so I have to take care of that. Those pesky naps that insist they be taken carve out a chunk of time... ha ha!
Sure, all that is to blame. I've also noticed that I've been letting some happenings and some people get me down more than I ought to. I'm an adult, after all, in charge of my feelings, and no one can really make me feel bad or annoyed or like I'm not doing the best I can unless I let them.
Today is gorgeous, as close to real fall as we get here in South Florida. There are a few crunchy leaves, the air feels and smells like fall... I'll take it. These pictures were taken just a little while ago outside, so you can partake of the gorgeous weather that we are experiencing in this part of the country.
Today I'm getting lots done, including posting to this blog that has also been victim to the down-bringers of life. I have a feeling that nothing I get done today will actually show all that much except to a few people. But *I* will know I got it done, and that's all that has to matter anymore.
I hope you also have a great, productive, enjoyable day today!

Heya hun, no time is really wasted if you spent it off work, napping and hanging out with your pets and 'puter. And it's okay to care about what people say and feel, that's a good thing. Just try not to get dragged fully under ;) You did the right thing - go outside, sunshine, crunchy leaves and fresh air. Time well wasted I reckon.
