Another lazy weekend

I've spent another weekend basically hidden away at home. The weather has been chilly and damp, as per usual for this winter, and not very nice for being outdoors. Since I got most of the household chores I was planning done yesterday I did absolutely nothing today...unless you count a two and half hour nap! I slept so hard that I had vivid dreams and woke up confused about what day/time it was. There went the whole afternoon, which was kind of  a bummer, but it felt good to rest.

Ah, well. Such is life.

I need to go shoe shopping. All of a sudden last year I realized that none of my shoes were fitting properly. Apparently I've gone up a half size at the ripe old age of 43. So I had to get rid of most of my shoes right before moving here and I only have one good pair for work. I meant to go out and shop for more today, but it just didn't work out. I couldn't bring myself to go out and face crowds of Sunday shoppers on a cold wet Sunday afternoon, so I took a nap instead.

Now that I'm really awake and it's almost time for Gregg to get home, I'm off to pour a glass of wine and begin our supper. I'm making a hamburger casserole, one of those classic ones that have a mashed potato and melted cheese topping. Not fancy food, but it will taste good.

How was your weekend? Did you do anything good, get anything accomplished, or rest and relax like me? 

I'll be girding my loins to face the craziness of a Monday morning at a middle school tomorrow.

Have a good one, everyone!

  1. Rest and relax always sounds good. I had the second part of a root canal on Friday, so mostly rested on Saturday, then today I went to church and to our Widow Friends lunch there. I was happy I was well enough. You need some comfortable and pretty shoes!

  2. I have rested and relaxed due to this stupid cold or whatever it is and also, gotten a few things done too. And I feel fine about that.
    I'm glad you slept this afternoon. Naps like that are just what your body needs or you wouldn't be able to do it. I know those naps- coma sleep. Disconcerting when you wake up. But just think how much your body appreciates that sort of rest.

  4. Our weather is not much different. It does involve snow, and I cancelled a visit rather than walk on slippery stuff.

  5. My wife returned from months of travel, my oldest son flew with her from London, and he bought me an 8 week old Border Collie puppy. So, just another peaceful weekend for me.

  6. I have to say, when Dave and I talk about our days in the evenings, I sometimes find myself wearing that expression and trying to think of SOMETHING unusual that happened! Good for you for napping. You clearly needed it.

  7. Our bodies claim what they need - in your case, it was rest, and rest you did!
    That hamburger casserole sounds like my kind of food. I have made something similar some weeks ago for OK and myself but called it a type of Shepherd's Pie.

  8. My Sunday was spent sitting at a beach bar having morning coffee alone, then joined by friends, then Jerry, and then other friends for lunch at the same beach bar. By the time I got home a siesta seemed in order. The only other productive thing was dinner at home (I washed the dishes). SO exhausting.

  9. After packing, cleaning, moving, unpacking, cleaning Thanksgiving and Christmas I think a weekend off resting is really just great.
