Ahhhh. Another storm in New Jersey. As frustrated as people get when it snows I have to say it has a very different affect on me. While I am certainly never one to be frustrated when it snows because of the inconvenience it causes me when I want to go out and get something delicious for lunch...or if it's during the week when it turns my already long commute into a cluster fuck of idiots who forget how to drive when the roads are not crystal clear.
What bothers me about snow days is that I seem to have a really hard time sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Right this very second it could be because I have such a severe pain in my hip that lying down for a long period of time pains me to no end when I finally decide to stand up - hence the reason I have already shoveled my driveway twice...and some of the road just for shits and giggles. But seriously - most people - I would think - look forward to days of nothing. Why on earth do I have such a hard time with this?
Not sure I have the answer to this, but I have some potential reasons:
1- I have some strong case of overactivity - which I am defining as the act of doing things at all times for no apparent reason.
2- I feel lazy sitting around all day when this is CLEARLY what my body needs.
3- It makes me feel like my brother and that concerns me - even though I love him to death. His work ethic is questionable.
4- I'm addicted to hanging out.
And there you have it. Any chance I can get some opinions on this or at least someone to admit to having the same problem?
I hope so.
Enjoy the snow:)

I went stir crazy after about 5 minutes of being stuck inside not doing anything. This led to a walk through the neighborhood... meaning I slipped-and-slided through the icy streets.
ReplyDeleteI don't like feeling lazy either. I end up cleaning a lot. HAHA
Well having just come back from vacationing in Florida, I have to say some days I just like to be lazy. Case in point: Monday I did nothing, and I mean nothing. I lounged around on a boat all day, took a nap, read my book, sent the hubby out for coffee, napped some more and then took a boat ride where I even got to steer, but I digress. Some days I truly truly truly want to be lazy. Unfortunately, it does not always happen on a "snow" day. Had I been in NJ for this last storm, I too would have shoveled the driveway, walk, street, cleaned cars, done laundry, run to the store for things I'm sure I didn't need. It's just that inactivity for more than a bit seems like a waste of time, sometimes. In your case, sore hip, tiredness, it is your body saying, give me one day of rest from your very busy life. In my case, it just catches up to me, old age I guess. So that's my 10 cents worth. Be lazy once in a while, go out in the snow once in a while, go crazy once in a while and have fun as often as you can without wearing yourself out.
