Off and Running

Boy was I glad to have yesterday afternoon off.  I feel like it was a crazy busy week for Merril and I, and yesterday gave us some well needed down time.
This week promises to be busy too.  Everything starts again.   All that we were involved in last year kicks off in February again.  This morning we start early.  We put this on ourselves but prayer is a great way to start the week.  I find I am at my most venerable or susceptible early in the week after the high of the weekend.  So starting the way we definitely gets us off to a good start and helps to keep us grounded.
This morning we have a tradie coming at 7am.  He is doing something we have wanted done for ages.  Later in the morning a friend is coming over for a visit.  Tomorrow morning I have a doctors appointment.  Tomorrow night we are having a number of people over.  Wednesday morning we are running a Market and I see someone.  That night we go out.  Thursday Merril has a doctors appointment.  Saturday it is Menzone which I have here once per month.  I need to prepare for that and some newbie’s have said they will be here.
That is the stuff I remember.  There is a cupboard that was delivered last week awaiting assembly.  There are a number of other things we have in mind to do but will do them when we get around to them.
So yesterday was a needed day off.  We love what we are doing but our bodies tell us when we need a break.  Personally I prefer to be busy and determine what I should not do then to but so quiet that I wonder what to do.
I tend to find like leads to like.  By that I mean that the sacker I am the slacker I get.  Conversely when I am busy I am more inclined to get busy.  They say if you want to get a job done give it to a busy person.  The thinking is that person has learned to prioritise and is in the habit of behaving in a productive way.
But there are times when a break is in order.  Yesterday afternoon was such a time.
