R & R

Once I get something into my head, it's hard to move it on out. Last night about 8PM I decided it was time to move my bedroom furniture to a different position. I usually have a spring/summer setting and a fall/winter setting. So last night I decide to try a whole different setting that I have used a couple times that I rather like. At 10PM I finally crawl into bed to watch my little TV that now seems a mile away. Since putting the dvr on that TV, the picture seemed so small when I was trying to read the TV Guide.

This morning I wake up and I realize I'm really stiff and sore from all the activity last night so after laying in bed for a half hour, I called into work sick. At 9AM I call into my other job to say I won't be in there either. I decided I've been working way too much, not having a full day off to myself since just about Labor Day. It's a rainy cooler day so a perfect day to get things done in the house.

First I strip the bedclothes off the bed and start washing them. I vacuum in the bedroom then decide with the new furniture arrangement I have room to move my old TV from the livingroom into the bedroom. After moving that and getting the dvr hooked up I try it out and no sound from the TV. I find the two remotes for the TV but even with new batteries they won't work. I finally get the dvr remote to control the TV and yippee, sound!

Time to do more laundry, play on the computer, chat with a friend from Germany, make a couple meatloaf to put in the freezer, make some sloppy Joe's for lunch and dinner, got through some mail, watch some TV in both the livingroom and the bedroom, depending on where I'm working, went though my closest to remove some clothes that I don't wear anymore, downloaded music from itunes, backed up all my downloads to disk and talk to Russ on the phone. Later he stops and picks me up to take me to town to pick up my car which has been in the garage since last week. It was an expensive fix, but now the car is so quiet and sit higher then it has in a while. There is one strange noise in it that I will take it back up to the garage for them to determine what it is, but that will wait until tomorrow or the next day.

Now it's getting dark and I can't believe what a full and enjoyable day I've had! I feel so relaxed and content. I think I'll be able to go back to work tomorrow with a whole new attitude! Guess a little R & R was just what the doctor ordered!!!
