Monday, Blue Skies and Sunshine (for now)

Happy Monday everyone! today the heat wave is supposed to end but the afternoon and evening hours will bring thunderstorms. I'm happy to say we survived the excessive heat wave over the past few days. For now, we have sunshine and blue skies. Today I have things I need to do around the house. Nothing exciting that's for sure but housework never ends. I'm myLotting while the clothes are in the wash and they probably have a little while before the switch to the dryer. Also in order for today....vacuuming. It will only be downstairs and I'll leave upstairs for tomorrow. After many years of dragging the vacuum up and down the stairs I now have one on each floor which makes it so much easier. I'm defrosting chicken and will do something with it in the crockpot for dinner but so far haven't decided yet what I'm going to create. My daughter is working so it's just me and the pups today. I really don't feel like doing any of the things on my "to do" list and would rather sit and crochet. I can't let the lazy side of me win Do you have days when you just want to chill and not do the things you should be doing?

Yes, and I usually do it. I don't like to push myself.

Sometimes I push myself when I probably shouldn't

Good morning. I am having one of those days here today, where I just want to sit and chill and not do anything. But work is calling me and I will need to finish getting read soon. But then I have 6 days off, so I can give in to the urge to sit and chill during those days. My hubby couldn't get any time off this month, so I will just putz around and chill. Our weather has cooled off too, the extreme humidity has rolled on to another area and today is cloudy and much cooler. It is nice outside for a change.

@Marilynda1225 Thank you! Just imagine.....we will be able to enjoy our morning coffees and chit chats together for the next little while. I'm looking forward to that. I had a terrific day at work today. I received so many hugs for my birthday and for taking a week off, everyone told me that they will miss my smiling face in the office. And of course I'll miss them, and then I'll log on to the site and enjoy coffee and chit chats with you!

The heat wave broke for us too yesterday evening, much less humidity today than there has been so that is good. I always have days when I just want to chill and do nothing.

We all need those do nothing days. I had 2 of those days this weekend so today I really need to get some motivation! Lol. Which I have already done many things-including wrote up a bunch of worksheets for my kids to start their school year very soon after they get back home.

I made spaghetti with pesto for lunch, but I have not decided yet for the dinner. It is so hot today, may be something cold.

I have the urge to do things other than work on my writing but then I cannot turn over money as fast Although I am going to be good to myself and find a way to take at least some hours just to do what I want to do during the week.

I like to chill mainly on Sunday. But no way out. Except fever I can't take the full rest which is very rare. But when I visit to my mom, dad and sis, I can take complete rest.

Happy Monday! I’m not much of a chill person, but plan on taking the afternoon for myself with some reading and Doodles time. It’s pretty cool here today, so I walked and then went to the gym.

It's good to have such days in between our days when we go around the clock finishing things on our to do list. Crochet sounds so much fun. Enjoy it My place has a pleasant weather through out year. Summer is short here. Heat waves in other parts of country is over but definitely in North people are having hot and humid rainy season.
