Have you ever had a day .......

Do you think Vera enjoyed her toast Sara65? ?

Story of my life these days.

I've had a healthy lunch today then are half a packet of chocolate hob nobs. I don't know why!

I`m with gmarie on this one.

Who ever lived a whole life of pursposfull useful days ? No-one I suspect. For many of us it is the lazy days, the purposesless days which are the best days of our lives.

I fall off the chocolate wagon with monotonous regularity. Don't worry about it we deserve to spoil ourselves frequently from time to time.
I've got a dental problem at the moment so chocolate abstinence is forced upon me

i have them sort of days as well.

Please tell me this is normal....I have had so many of them since I retired 4 weeks ago....sighs

I've said this before, but a day doing nothing isn't a day wasted if you've enjoyed it. I don't know why people feel guilty for having a 'slob' day. I'm doing it now, on my computer whilst watching cricket. Lovely.

I make sure that the dogs get walked then my intentions later are to maybe clean one of the bedrooms or perhaps get the bathroom cleaned over.
It's still winter to me so after the dog walk come in maybe nice bowl of tomato soup and still lots of the biscuits for cheese left over from Christmas and a bit later a nibble on chocolates left from Christmas I know I should throw the chocolates out but why? I did pay good money for them.
I blame it on Christmas too much extra buying and then I cannot bring myself to waste it.

Ooh I have days like that. Good intentions when I wake up, then I just sit, eat, nibble, drink tea and watch tv, and then eat some more, and make plans for the next day.

We Gransnetters must lose the guilt. Of course we aspire to be busy, but not all the time

Having one today and don't care, will start again tomorrow

I have those days too but am begining to not feel too guilty about it. Sometimes it's good to do nothing so spoil yourself, put your feet up and relax

I find that if I do something creative, just one small thing, I feel a sense of achievement and happiness! Chocolate cake anyone? Fresh from the oven. Clear out a cupboard? Bag up for charity. Write a letter to a dear old aunty? Pleasure for her. Works for me and I retire to bed feeling better for it. Roll on spring!

Who assigns a meaning to one activity and not another?

Why is a session at the gym admirable but Hoovering the house drudgery? You would probably use the same calories for each and the latter activity is also useful as well as energetic. It is not helpful to allow the assumed judgement of others make you unhappy.

You probably needed a day treading water. This part of January, where it is still dark, cold and wet and there is no Christmas to look forward to, drains physical and mental energy. A day doing very little of note is a luxury. It might be different and a sign of something untoward like depression if one nothingy day follows another.

If it makes you feel better, OP, plan a more focussed and active day. I note that the shops are selling daffodils at a pound a bunch. Buy yourself a bunch and these sparks of yellow will cheer you and make you look forward to spring.

I did on Friday and my bunch of spring has cheered my heart and helped remind me my dull, isolated days will be lightened by the oncoming season.

Please don't feel guilty.We are always hardest on ourselves. I bet you have other days when you are unexpectedly full of beans and doing multiple jobs all at once and flying about. Those days we feel smug and happy. I am sure it balances out.

Ha yes. I'm with Jimjam1 on this.

Allsaints ??. Enjoy your day

who cares .its nice to have a day off .and do as you please. its not wasted its re-energising your batteries.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one - most of my days are like that. Sometimes I find myself motivated and then realise it is because the sun is shining. Strange

We should form a club we're not being lazy, we're just in power down mode, natures way of saving the batteries

Most Sunday's , me and my daughter call it out out Sunday .

Well said Kalu ! X

Goodness, Aepgirl, a weekend shop PLUS a pile of ironing would most definitely be a non-slob day for me! You are evidently a novice in the serious business of slobbing!
