A Rare Day Off


Monday, November 19, 2012

Challenge: 60 minutes home alone and a disasterously messy house

Prep: pull back hair and start episode of Gilmore Girls

Attack:

Unload dishwasher
Reload dishwasher and start
Hand-wash additional dishes
Fold three loads of laundry and put away
Send email to Rex’s therapists
Pick up living room
Process mail from 2 days

Victory: A cleaner home and time to relax with hubby


Challenge: 7 hours home alone with hubby

Prep: get back into pajamas and into bed

Attack:

Watch Downton Abbey
Eat Chinese food
Eat lots of chocolate
Take a nap
...

Victory: A relaxing “date” together, only the second one since Rex came home

And there's no way of knowing when a day like this might happen again, so we enjoyed it while we could.

  2. I love Downtown Abbey, sounds like you had a great time getting stuff done and relaxing. Love those times which don't happen often enough:) fYI we have booked a hotel room for the reunion in Ohio, can't wait.
