Rest Day

Thursday I try to have off.
Yesterday I was excited to try it as a genuine day off. Reading, sleeping, watching tele, eating
I am happy to report it worked. I have what I consider a really good book I want to read at the moment. I thought Thursday was a perfect opportunity for that.I did get to see the metal collectors come to pick up the metal I had at the front. Seeing the neighbours and telling them if they had any metal they wanted to get rid of they could leave it at the front of our place. It actually worked. Stuff appeared we actually had no idea of. I think the collectors were a little surprised (even though I had told them I was doing a letter box drop) that that was as much as there was. They spent ages out the front getting the truck right to take what was there.
But I observed all this from the security of my home. We did need to go out in the evening to get some things. I discovered we were very low on butter. (Merril had made some home made cookies.) I actually ate all of them and told her someone had eaten them but I had seen who did it)
I felt like I was at subways or a bbq where butter is not on the agenda and food is consumed without it. I admit I love butter and missed it but the food was still good. We did get more later in the day.
I did manage to do the things I had wanted to. It is funny how everything is put off to the next day. Great at the time but the next day does arrive.
I think I have worked out the daylight saving time too. Much of the tele I watch originates out of Sydney. More than once I have sat down to watch a show and I am an hour too late. Not yesterday though. I was on to them. I sat down at the right time to watch what I wanted.
It was a quiet day and a good one. I have found that a rest day is really important. I may think I can go 24/7 but I can’t. When I try it is like the day before and the rest day are two half days when only one was needed. And I am tired despite my best intentions.
​In my mind yesterday was the way it should be.
