I'm supposed to be done with all this module work and moving on to other things that need some attention. But for some reason I've been feeling utterly lazy today. I sure did my usual morning chores and all, except that I decided to just binge watch on K drama episodes in between housework. I managed to do a few important errands though and pushed myself to fold some clean laundry before I got too lazy again.
Some days I just want to be like this. 
Could be that my mind or my body is telling me to slow down. Even just for a day or two.
Anyway, I'll have to drag myself in a bit for some exercise. Then I'll take a quick shower before I prepare tonight's dinner. I'm making adobong sitaw (stewed string beans), beef shanghai rolls, and fried fish.
Oh, and happy 4th of July to all the myLotters in the US who are celebrating this event!

Sometimes it is good to just lie around in bed and do nothing.

@almostoveryou true that.
Anything done in excess is bad.

True. I should just remind myself to not overdo it.

I refused to watch K drama for many years thinking that they're just like those boring soaps on TV. But when the husband asked me to watch "Crash Landing On You" last year, I was totally hooked. I never thought I'd enjoy their storylines so much. Even the art direction and cinematography are superb. I haven't stopped watching since. There are different genres for everyone's liking. I tend to watch a lot of coming-of-age, romcoms and family dramas.

Yes. I guess I needed a break from all the work that I've been doing.

We all deserve to be lazy once in awhile. Especially when our body demands it. It's very important that we listen to our body too. It knows best. Fatigue can lead to the drop of the immune system and with a very low immune system we are subjecting ourselves to diseases.

True. I frequently suffered from burnout and gastritis when I was in the corporate world. I'm thankful to be working from home n ow and able to afford some downtime when I need it.

@almostoveryou You must have been under a lot of pressure then.

I like lazy days when it rains all day. It's somehow comforting.

Oh, same here! I am most happy when I'm home and it's raining all day. I just want to curl up in bed and read a book and have some hot cocoa.

You're welcome. Hot spicy curry is a "favorite" leftover in our household. We'd make a big batch and then freeze the rest so we can have them another day.

True. It seems that as I grow older, I tend to look forward to more benign days of chores and a bit of leisurely activities.
