Minimize to Maximize

Well yesterday was a fairly quiet day.  I had things to do but in a very real sense they needed to wait while I rested and recouped for the next round of activities.
It was not that I did nothing. Merril and I went to a prayer time at 6am.  When that was finished we went and had breakfast together at an Australian place (formed in 1984 in Tasmania) we like to get breakfast and a coffee.
After that we came home and Merril vacuumed while I got together cans and bottles for Cash for Cans.  We took them there.  When we got home Merril continued to work inside while I got ready for a delivery that was scheduled for later.  A mate who I was to meet with rang and called it off due to some activities with others he was involved in that could take longer than expected.
After that there was not much Merril and I did.  A builder did come and quote on a job.  We had organized that and he will do the task later in the week.  The delivery we were expecting did not happen and gain was organized or later in the week.  We got to see and talk with some friends of ours.
Merril did organize a couple of appointments with the doctor for me.  Again that was set for later in the week.  I have a few issues I would like to get to the bottom of.
I have been very happy to see a different doctor as I am totally in favour of getting a second opinion for peace of mind.  I will avoid going to that doctor though because of responses to questions I asked and the way he was.
It is not often I go to a doctor and he has a cough and appears generally unwell.  I asked him what days he has off and he told me he does not have a day off.  From the way he appeared that made sense to me.
I am a great adherer to having a day to recuperate.  I have tried working seven days and it does not work.  I felt that on days six and seven my productivity was half a day each day.  I really could have worked six days and had the seventh off.
Besides, attempting to do something my body is not built to do is counter productive and I end up run down.  I never get the rest I need.  I need to forget the main purpose I am involved in (not compromise it but put it on the back burner) to increase my effectiveness.
Today I am back into stuff but without doubt the rest did me good.
