I am learning how to enjoy days like today, but I am not very good at it.  I guess that I am a bit hyper and when I am not working or doing something that I consider productive I judge it as a waste of time.  But I do know that we all need some down time now and again, so a day when we can be lazy isn't such a bad thing.  And sleeping in on one day of the week isn't evil (if you can call sleeping in until almost 8:30 'sleeping in')  I do realize that I have put myself in a position that I can't sleep in tomorrow because I did not do my long shaving bath that I thought about, or even a long shower shave.  Sheila had up off doing her (our) laundry of until today so I didn't trust the hot water to last.  So I need to get up in time to do my 2-week shave and still be early for church at 9:00 a.m.  We have both been lazy today as far as getting dressed and doing anything out of the house.  I did not go to the post office and Sheila did not even go outside (newspaper, mail box and to clean out the skimmer in the pond for me).  But we both put in the time this morning to get our taxes finished up and all ready to mail come Monday (the 15th).  I had also done some office work when I did get up at 8:30.  I just had lots of time that I could have used better, but I chose to do less and do (or not do) what Saturday would allow me to do (or not do).  Didn't have this kind of a Saturday early on when we were raising the kids.  And I guess that I don't have it as often as I think now.  So to take advantage of it might not be as bad as I am thinking it to be.  I guess there are a lot of things related to our present stage of life that I am still getting used to and learning how to deal with.  It is something that I need to ponder on some more and come to understand the truth of it all.
