Having completely demotivated day

Katek.....am so glad its not just me...I've had two days on the trot where I could have cracked on and done so much....no OH underfoot as it were....but apart from doing the dog's walk and a couple of household tasks have not achieved much.
Its difficult to explain but I sum it up as 'My get up and go, has got up and gone'.
I know some of it is a sort of anxiety/stress induced inertia in my case - but even when you can explain it to yourself its strange how the feelings of 'can't be bothered' are so strong.

Hey ho will try again tomorrow!

You have all made me feel much better. I was on a guilt trip today as I had done a lot of faffing about and little else. If you can't faff about at our age, when can you?

Yes and me! I have slob days, but always feel it was a wasted day somehow, and yet cba all day. Wish I could simply learn to go with the flow.

Bed made?? you are not getting into it yet are you.

I like to make sure the bed is well aired and just pull the duvet back until it is time to get into it again. #straightfaceemoticon.

Katek I have days like that without a blush. Doing b*** all days I call them. I am just so happy that I am retired and can indulge myself in this way. Not a wasted day, a doing b*** all day. It is allowed.

Oh I had one of those last week. Just relax and listen to your body telling you to slow down for a while ..... ?

DH is out for the day until late evening and I've been looking forward to having the house to myself. Great plans to catch up on panto music, calls and my cross stitch.....what have I done? Very little is the answer, haven't even got housework finished. Dishwasher is sitting half stacked with door ajar and bed is only just made. I keep starting and stopping, check out GN, FB, email, do a bit of browsing then make myself have another few productive minutes! I'm wasting my precious day ...,, now it's lunchtime. Get a grip, woman.
