It has taken me several days to actually relax when I get up in the morning. I'm not going to berate myself for not using my vacation days to get things done. That has become a "thing" with me - worrying about getting things done. Using my time. I have to accept that I'm slow. It takes me a long time to work up to doing anything, and I constantly feel guilty for it. I should have done this, I should have done that. That kind of thinking takes all the enjoyment out of the moment.
So whatever I get done, that's fine. So far, I can say that for two days I've enjoyed my coffee in the morning. My cold still isn't gone totally. Mornings especially are kind of gross, with the congested head and yuckiness. Lots of sneezing.
I have cleaned the upstairs a bit, and the living room. Ate some ice cream. Worked out on the elliptical. Read a not bad book, suspense. I forget the author's name now, but I'm going to read more by him. [Linwood Barclay]
The morning today is very nice. Still quite cool, and I wouldn't be surprised to see more snow in the future. We've had snow in April before. I'm envious of the quick spring my online friends in England enjoy. Flowers blooming, windows open. It will take some weeks for that here.
In a few weeks I'm going to see Son's family. My sister hasn't seen their house yet, and they've lived there for a few years now. Maybe Daughter will go; depends on what she has going on.
