Well it's the end of the day.

My so-called self-defined "work" hours ended an hour ago, but I've been on the move adulting. I took out trash, collected mail, and did some other things. I even filled the fridge for George and I. I even ordred us dinner, too.
I did a lot more today than I thought I'd do, but all par for the course as they say. And, I don't feel as stressed. I love it when I have a good productive day.

@kaylachan Tomorrow it is supposed to be our hottest day here this week, hitting 99. I think I will try to keep myself busy inside tomorrow!! I'll have to bring the chickens a watermelon snack though.

Oh I get that it's hot here, too. Weather was saying something about a heat dome.

@kareng I don't blame you. George and I toughed it out, but I didn't check the mail until almost dark.

Trust me it wasn't all fun and games. I had chores that I hate doing, but need doing. But, they're done and out of the way.

@tech40 Yes, I know. ANd, I wasn't refering to paid work but housework that I don't like to do. Like emptying the dryer when George parks the van kinda tight. Or going out in the heat to take the trash and or recycling down to the curb for pickup. Hand washing dishes.

@kaylachan I agree, especially when we're talking about a job that requires us to do something even though we're not having fun. At the end of the day, that is the reason why we're getting paid.

I think I get better sleep when I've had a more productive day.

That's good. You're satisfied of what you have done today. It pays to reward yourself for bring unstressful.

It's a term that means when we do things we might not want to do, but have to do. Like wash the dishes, mop the floor, clean the house, pay the bills, and so on.

@Ineeddentures I don't see it very often, but it's something I've heard. And, asking is okay.

Never heard anyone else use it Kayla
That's why I asked
I actually thought it might have been something different

What's a day off? I haven't had anything like that for years.

@kaylachan now I'm questioning myself, Do I really have a day off?
