A day off

Today is my day off of work. For now, I only have 1 day off a week. I woke at 415am, which is my usual time to wake for work, then decided to sleep in til 6... Got up , made coffee, realized I was pretty exhausted, went back to bed setting my alarm for 8.. What a treat:) I wake up, look at the clock and it's NOON!!! My first thoughts?? "Gosh, Col-what a lazy waste you are... You haven't slept this late since you were drinking!".."dammit, there's goes your to do list, I'm such an idiot".."awesome- you wasted the whole day by sleeping, you're such a loser"...at this point I haven't even really opened my eyes and I have to, our loud, to STOP. Ok, I overslept- its Allright. Maybe my body needed the rest- I do get up at 415 every morning, and haven't really been getting more than 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night for a long time, also I'm fighting a cold. Ok, so by noon I had planned to attend 2 meetings, and be on my way to getting my nails done, hitting the grocery and be halfway done with laundry. Whatever... I slept in.. Laundry will be done, I can go to a meeting tonight, and I have plenty of food in my house to ward off starvation ( I just don't have greek yogurt- damnit!! Lol). F in RELAX. Goodness gracious!! Maybe it's ok for me to just chill the F out:) so, I 'wasted' more time by laughing at myself and checking out the posts here... And, no, my world has not crumbled- I'm still not showered- so THERE. F my 'to do list'! Lol..But just for today

Hey Col , I look at that as 'Looking after YourSelf'

A bit of 'MeTime'   ,  I do it all the time .

What does everybody tell you to do -

Gotta go now - Look after Yourself Col.

Congrats on 7 months, Col! I've been there and done that one too. As a matter of fact, I was up at 4:30 this morning going over last nights meeting and grumbling to myself...lol! I had to go back to bed to get up on the right side! Hope your nails look great!

Congrats on the 7 months! I have done the same thing many times and I feel the same when I oversleep and have to adjust my daily goals.

Like you said it all works out, but like you I can feel kind of shitty when I'm not productive.
