Being lazy...

[freakchylde]

With my work schedule being what it is, I no longer get full days to truly be lazy. Normally, I'd have one day where I'd do nothing but sit on the couch with a face mask, hair mask, and fizzy stuff in a bath tub. Maybe go shopping. But those days are gone. I now only have one regular day off, and that is for couple time. So when I get a couple of

I can certainly empathize with aspects of this. I do what I can to recharge, or otherwise reclaim some peace. It can be difficult to find a set routine, as the wife's schedule always changes every couple of months. Right now I value the evenings when she's at class as my time to do my Nerd Thing, though that time is so limited (compared to when I had most of Saturday to myself), that I generally feel rushed during that time. I'm always struggling to get that alone time for recharging, which will be more difficult when she finishes school and settles into a 9-5 routine. My methods for doing things, be it hobby tasks or chores, are very methodical and deliberate. When she's around, it's like a tornado, as my mental plans go out the window. That's not a criticism of her, but just how things work sometimes, and that's usually fine, provided I have SOME time to do things at my own pace.

One of the great things that we've done together is go on hikes (more like leisurely strolls) at local parks. It's a nice thing that we can do together to reconnect, both with each other and with nature. We haven't done it enough due to hectic schedules, but man oh man is it satisfying when we do. Hopefully we'll be able to go again on Saturday. The weather is holding out, thankfully.

Hopefully one of these days we can actually get you guys up here for a visit. While our preferred hiking trail is no challenge (the path is paved), it's very pleasant.

I hope to get up there at some point. We usually don't get further than the border. :/

As to me, I love my Monday mornings. Usually Pastry has to work them, so I have it to myself. But I do need to get a yoga practice going. We have our separate space, so finding alone time isn't hard. It helps that we're similar so shared solitude isn't a hard thing. We're also both lazy as hell. :) We're talking about starting up our hikes again. If we can get the condo finished over "winter" then spring and summer will be easy to manage. Just need to sprinkle house projects in from time to time.
