Back to business

For the past few days I've felt extremely under the weather, and I do not take being sick very well.
I kept trying to think of all the little things around the house I could be doing instead of watching TV or spending time on the computer.
Every time I'd try to get up and do something though, my fever would come back and I'd be more miserable than before.

The few things that I was able to accomplish while sick were:
* watch movies I've been wanting to see
* update my farm on farm town (facebook)
* snooze longer than 10 hours straight
* not think about work
* relax

While it may seem like an lackluster list to some, these are actually some great accomplishments for me.
Since I'm always finding myself busier than a bee, the hardest part out of anything was taking the time to stop, breath, and relax for a whole day!
People tend to think that if we are not working, we are not achieving anything.
There is a tendency to run ourselves to the bare bones if we are constantly struggling to keep our heads above water.
Bills, food, fun, extras ? why do we do this to ourselves?
We all need to take one day out of a month, or even every couple of weeks, to let ourselves relax and be in the moment and not worrying about what we will be doing for dinner at 9:00 am!
I hope the next go round of down time for me isn?t when I?m sick, because then I?ll be able to bake some things in the kitchen!
- Happy Hump Day!
