I’m on day #2 of doing absolutely nothing. So far, I’m floundering. But I’m trying! I was ordered not to even stand long enough to do dishes… but if I don’t do them, who will?
The photo above was taken before Jackson County Water turned the water off to do work in the area WITHOUT letting customers know in advance. Got the call that we’re under a boil alert before the water came on — and 2 hours after they shut it off. 🤬
3 tips for doing nothing:
- Don’t look around inside because you’ll see things that need to be done.
- Dharma sheds enough hair to fill a Walmart bag daily — even after I brush her. But I can’t brush her and I can’t vacuum the hair either. The only option is to ignore the fact that I’m probably filling my lungs with Labrador dander and hair balls.
- Don’t look around outside because you’ll see things that need to be done.
- My plants need watering and that requires pulling out a hose and rolling it back up when finished. It also requires filling a watering can to give the hanging baskets a drink. I might’ve broken this rule this morning too.
- Don’t look at your pets because they will expect you to do something… anything.
- My 3 hounds always want something. A belly rub, a treat, outside… And yah, I break this rule often. Oh well.
Did I mention I’m struggling? 😉
It’s miserable hot outside and the pool is something I’m allowed to do if I don’t swim or do anything other than stand in there. I’m headed out to actually do just that. I figure letting the cool water from the return hit my back will feel amazing, and might even trick my brain into thinking I’m doing something instead of nothing.
Have you ever been instructed to do NOTHING? It sounds great, but speaking from experience… it’s isn’t nearly as wonderful as it sounds.
