After a whirlwind of activity over the weekend and yesterday it was so nice being able to sleep in this morning. Gone are the days when I have to set the alarm and worry about being tired and going to work.
I woke up this morning to the phone ringing and it was my friend so I was able to enjoy my conversation in bed. Something I almost never do. In fact, she was quite surprised that I wasn't up, showered, dressed and having my coffee.
After my lazy morning I did manage to get up, showered and dressed and of course two cups of coffee pretty much one right after the other.
My daughter is working today so it's quiet. The sun is shining and I can see my neighbor working on his patio. It's a beautiful day but I have no ambition to be outside doing anything.
I have declared today "lazy bones day".
How about you? are you busy today?

@Marilynda1225 Yes it grows very quickly, especially after a rain.

Seems that the grass grew so fast just recently. We had ours mowed last week and it was quite high

Sounds nice. It's hard doing anything if you're not in the mood.

I am semi retired, and I have the option to spend the night with my client, and have the whole day to myself. I enjoy being lazy bones.

I slept in until just after 8am, which is a very rare thing for me to do.
My husband had his meet and greet doctor's appointment this morning, and since I've seen that doctor in the past, I volunteered to go along with him since he wasn't familiar with how to get there.
Then we had lunch together and we each went into work.
But.........to be honest.........your day sounds even better then mine!!!

One day you'll enjoy the benefits of being retired. However, enjoy being young!!!

Yes, I was kind of busy today..I woke up at son's and had to get packed up to come back down here. I had to get gas..and he put oil in the car..then I had my apartment shop to finish writing up which took most of the afternoon. I also hadn't done much online work while I was gone so I had to get caught up.

I don't have the stamina I used to either. I miss the days when I could do lots of things and still have energy
