This past weekend everyone awaited Hurricane Sandy with all of its anticipated destruction that was to come with it. Everyone stocked up at the store, making sure they had enough non-perishable, batteries for their flashlights, sand bags if you happened to live close enough to the water, and most likely people made sure that they had something to keep them busy while they were made to be confined to their homes for about two days or so.
I managed to make it to the store to get a few essentials (and by essentials I mostly mean snacks) but I already had flashlights with batteries, and I have tons to be able to keep me busy because there are tons of things that I have been unable to get done lately. I also had the impossible task of keeping a child who very much loves being out of the house from being bored.
All of the things I could have chosen to do during my stay indoors for the last two days I chose to do absolutely nothing. I mean I played with my daughter and I watched TV, I even managed to do some reading that was long overdue. But I can admit that I was really lazy these last two days.
But tomorrow is a new day, there’s no more Hurricane Sandy, no more mandatory need to stay indoors, no more excuses that I can make. Tomorrow it is time to put in some much needed work on all of the things I must get done. But for now, I’m going to go back to reading my book. Hope all of you are being productive, and if you’re not, I at least hope that you’re enjoying being able to do nothing because I’m sure it doesn’t happen as often as you need it to!
