You'd think that doing less all day long would save energy.  But it seems that time spends it whether you work hard or not.  The amount of work that I could have done today wasn't the key.  That was how much work I could get by without doing. So I spent my time on less productive activities like sitting, eating and watching tv.  Now I am as tired as if I had done lots of hard work and I find that I would rather start my go to bed routine as opposed to stay up late just because I can sleep in tomorrow.  I got the minimum done as I don't feel too badly about not working harder.  In comparison with Sheila I do feel badly because she had to tend 3 grand kids today and tonight she is engaged in making salads for the get together tomorrow.  She wasn't able to get off to the store until after 5:30.  Hopefully she won't have to stay up too late to get her work finished. Me, I'll probably be asleep be asleep when she comes to bed, which I usually am anyway. There is some good about not doing much in a day, and there is some that I do not like.  I expect more of myself, but I'm am quite used to my inadequate out put.  Not necessarily pleased, but used to it.  I'd like to end with something cleaver, but I don't feel very clever right now.  Just grateful and disappointed in how I show it.
