Can't be bothered day.....

I'm very slothful today and can't be bothered getting off the sofa. I have a hair appointment at 12 and then meeting friends for lunch but I am struggling to get on, tidy up and get organised. I feel perfectly fine physically so no excuse there. I woke up feeling like this-where has today's motivation gone?

I'm feeling like that too Kate. Do you think it's the weather? Biorhythms?

I've got a library planning meeting this morning and keep hoping someone else will pull out so I don't have to bother going. Which is very strange because I'm [generally] really excited about what we are hoping to do. confused

I had a day like that yesterday. It was quite nice really. I wouldn't mind another one today. But I'd better not.

I'm convinced it's because we haven't got the hormones we had before the meno. hmm

I had a day like that yesterday and another one is hanging over me. I'm going for lunch with my bf, it's her birthday, and I must be bright and chirpy for her!
I agree jings, and I could easily slide into a glut of laziness and sloth.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 15-Sept-15 09:54:51

I'm halfway there Lona. shock

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 15-Sept-15 09:56:10

It's so hard sometimes to be bright and chirpy for someone else. So much easier to sit in a quiet corner and read my book.

henetha Tue 15-Sept-15 09:57:56

Me too. Feel extremely lethargic. However, I've got an errand today which I absolutely don't want to do.
But if I don't, then I shall feel guilty. Help!

Lona Tue 15-Sept-15 09:58:32

It all seems so pointless. I will probably be OK later! wine with lunch wink

Katek Tue 15-Sept-15 09:59:31

That's exactly what I want to do Jingl and maybe a short doze after lunch. Never actually thought about a hormone connection but maybe you're right. I tend to just blame myself for not trying hard enough. Still haven't got off sofa......come on girl, you can do this thing!!

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 15-Sept-15 09:59:59

here you are then henetha

I'm pretending to myself that it's important to be checking emails, surfing Gransnet and Facebook; and doing a quick crossword on line. All excuses not to face the things that really need doing.

henetha Tue 15-Sept-15 10:01:41

Thank you jinglbellsfrocks..... grin

Lona Tue 15-Sept-15 10:03:08

Too much pressure to be up, out and leaping around! We've done that bit, now it's time to mooch.grin

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 15-Sept-15 10:03:42

Oh God! We've all got to rise up in unison. Right away! grin

On yer marks....!

Katek Tue 15-Sept-15 10:04:41

I like mooching.......! Fab word isn't it? Feet are now on floor.

Katek Tue 15-Sept-15 10:05:43

5....4....3....2....1.........GO!

For several successive days my DD 'popped in' and ending up staying most of the day, with dog and baby. It is exhausting. I feel very slothful today and just want to stay on the sofa. I have my Kindle next to me, and my knitting and my laptop. What more do I need? wink

Indinana Tue 15-Sept-15 10:06:23

*ended, not ending!

Alea Tue 15-Sept-15 10:06:31

Maybe it is indeed the weather. Where has the sun gone? SAD syndrome perhaps. The darker evenings are really making a difference too so all in all, I'm quite chuffed that I am actually up and dressed (10 o'clock)

Katek Tue 15-Sept-15 10:09:05

Copious amounts of tea Indinana!

Indinana Tue 15-Sept-15 10:11:21

Oh yes, tea definitely Katek - made and delivered by my DH with any luck grin

I beat you all! I've been up since 03.30. Whizzed round at work, three hours is just long enough to do the job. Since getting back home though, all my get up and gone had gone. I am now sitting on the sofa with the hudl and a cup of coffee. The housework that I didn't do yesterday is still waiting. I really must do the dusting and waltz round with the vacuum cleaner before bed time.grin

hildajenniJ Tue 15-Sept-15 10:16:17

Get up and go has gone! I must watch what I type!

Katek Tue 15-Sept-15 10:24:34

3.30am!! What on earth were you doing up at that time of night Hilda?

Indinana Tue 15-Sept-15 10:32:46

Funnily enough I was up at 3.30 too! But that was only because I couldn't sleep so I came down for a hot drink, stayed up for an hour and went back to bed. And slept till 9.00! shock
