After going to sleep at almost 4:00 a.m., last night, I slept till about 11:30 a.m., this morning! I woke up once, at 6:30 a.m., which was ridiculous; I went to the bathroom and then, went back to bed! I half expected my neighbor to call at 11:00 a.m., for our usual Sunday morning chat, but she didn't call me till 1:30 p.m., because she said she had woken up with a headache and had gone back to bed and slept in, herself.
After I woke up, I had a cup of coffee, replied to blog comments, and started uploading pictures from yesterday. That took some time because they weren't uploading for the longest time. That has happened a couple of times, before, so I knew I just had to wait; after a couple of hours, they all uploaded. Then, I started writing a long blog post about yesterday's events! That took me all afternoon, practically, because I felt I needed to explain some things in detail!
In between, I spoke with daughter and my neighbor T, ate some leftover sandwiches I had brought home from the bridal shower for brunch, went on Facebook, did a load of laundry, handwashed the sari I wore yesterday, because I spilled curry gravy on it, had a cup of tea with some of the "short eats" I had brought home, and, generally, relaxed! Later in the evening, I put water to the front garden (with the garden hose) and the back garden (the sprinklers).
Today, I am grateful for:
- Being able to get over 7 hours of sleep
- Being able to take it easy and have a relaxed day
- A sunny, warm day
- Making a dent in the laundry pile
- Knowing I have a day off from work, tomorrow!
Having the day off tomorrow enabled me to relax, today, and rest from yesterday's activities, knowing I have tomorrow in which to run errands. Tomorrow, I want to go grocery shopping and, maybe, do some meal prep for the week.
Monday's To Do List:
- Grocery shop
- Clean the fridge
- Meal prep
- Empty waste baskets/take out recycling
- Take the trash cans to the curb
- Put away the dried laundry
- Iron the sari I washed today
- Do another load of laundry and hang to dry
- Tidy the family room
How was your Sunday? Was it a day of rest for you?
It took a whole day to recuperate from the day's events yesterday. Thank goodness you were able to sleep most of the morning. I believe you when you say it took all afternoon to write the blog post, which I greatly appreciated. Lots of great pictures and wonderful detail. Good that you were able to enjoy the aftermath of the party with food brought home. No cooking....yay.
ReplyDeleteSusan, I was grateful that I didn't feel more tired than I did and had a day in which to rest! Even today, I have the day off from work and I am taking it easy, as I still feel a little tired. I might go grocery shopping, later in the afternoon, but I can manage for a few more days with what I have, if I don't go.
DeleteRelaxing days are great especially after busy ones. Glad you were able to have one.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are, aren't they? I didn't feel it too much on Saturday; I guess the adrenaline kept me going, but being able to rest yesterday was much needed and even today, I am taking it easy!
DeleteYes, Sunday was a day of rest for me. I didn't have anything planned and there were no unexpected visitors so I was able to do a bit of pottering in the garden followed by a leisurely reading session, a soak in the bath and an early night!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your day off tomorrow.
Eileen, sounds like you had a very nice, relaxed day, yesterday. :) Thank you, so far, I've had a very relaxed morning.
DeleteI'm glad you managed to get some sleep and your neighbour didn't call right away! Sounds like you needed a rest after yesterday's activities!
ReplyDeleteYes, it worked out well with neighbor calling me later in the afternoon, didn't it? I definitely needed the sleep and the rest, yesterday! Still taking it easy, today, too. :)
DeleteSunday I should not have rested but I did. Now it is Monday and I need to start moving, and moving fast,
ReplyDeleteAnne, I hope that resting on Sunday gave you enough energy to move fast today!
DeleteI am not surprised that you needed a rest day after such a busy Saturday.
ReplyDeleteWe were at a potluck supper on Sunday with a small group and it was delightful as our host entertained us with his accordion and one guest brought the most exquisite maple syrup butter tarts!
That sounds like it was a wonderful get together, Bushlady! Maple syrup butter tarts sound delicious!
DeleteIt sounds like you really needed the rest my friend.
ReplyDeleteI did, Debbie. I didn't feel it too much on Saturday, but it caught up with me on Sunday and I spent today resting, too!
