Super Lazy Sunday

I haven't had a Sunday off at home in years. I think it's been years. I think the times I've had a Sunday off, I've either been too sick to care or I've been out of town. I usually work every Sunday so this is why it's significant. I've worked Sundays for at least two years now.

So what have I done with my Sunday?

Nothing.

Not a damn thing.

And I have to say, it's awesome!

Right from the get-go, today went well. First off, I got a very nice near eleven hours of sleep. Secondly, I woke up feeling noticeably better. My cold has finally broke. No more nasal or sinus congestion. My cough is hanging in there, but it too has weakened. Sweet.

I then proceeded to take a half hour shower. I almost never take showers that last this long. Most of my showers last 8 minutes or less. On occasion, I'll make it a 15 minute shower. But rarely do I ever dedicate a half hour of my life to being in the shower. Let me tell you, that rocked. Speaking of showering/hygiene, I still haven't shaved. While in the shower, I decided that my tradition of not shaving because of being sick will now forever be called "Sick 'Stache Syndrome."

After getting relatively clean, I changed into lazy clothes. Sweatpants, baggy long sleeve shirt, warm socks and slippers. I was prepped and ready for laziness. I had already made the conscious decision to do nothing today. I might as well dress for the part. I then casually marched to my kitchen. Today needed a good hot breakfast to kick off my lazy day. I immediately went for the hashbrowns and eggs, the only edible thing I'm capable of cooking. Before I could get to work, my dad stopped me and suggested we go to breakfast. I agreed. (I begrudgingly changed out of my lazy clothes to do this.) It was nice to have breakfast with my dad in a a little hole of a restaurant.

Upon returning to my home, I went directly to the TV. I had to catch up with an old friend of mine: Sunday football. I have greatly missed the past time of sitting on my ass and watching Sunday football. I used to do it all the time from grade school through high school. Then I had to start working real jobs and so football watching soon ended thereafter. In fact, I'm still watching football as I write this. I have sparsely moved from the couch.

I really needed a day like this. I have spent all my days off doing nothing but homework, 10+ hours per day. I was starting to get really really really burned out on that. I had made it a conscious objective to make today as relaxing as possible. Now I'm bristling with hopes for coming back as good as new tomorrow. I wrote two papers over the weekend that I wasn't happy with. I haven't needed to turn them in yet thankfully. I'm hoping I can look over those again with a fresh mind and revise them.


Better. Feeling much better.
