Rest and Relax

 It’s 10 months since COVID times and a new norm established. I’ve been working from home since March and quite frankly it’s been even busier. I’m on my laptop at the start to the very end of the working day and by the time I log out I’m pretty beat. I think at work, there was that natural interruptions, breaks, travel time to meetings and of course the office chatter. I do love working from home. It allows me to sleep in just a little longer and waking up naturally instead of a jarring alarm clock. I don’t have to rush to catch a train to work and back home. Once I’m done my day, I get to shut off and I’m home with my family. Lots of bonuses for sure. It does however, get a bit exhausting. The screen time draining. So in between it all I’ve been doing what I can stay healthy, safe and sane. Yoga helps. So does wine and family. This past few months have been exceptionally busy. So this weekend when someone asked me “so what are your plans this weekend” I didn’t hesitate to answer “rest and relaxation”. It gets too easy to get sucked in to constantly be working, moving and staying busy, we forget that sometimes, we just need rest. Yep, it’s R and R for me and making sure I milk every lethargic habit this weekend;

• watching endless You Tube videos on food and travel. I’ve been watching Sailing Nadji and gosh I so want to buy a sail boat and go sailing around the world. Yosh, Bonita and Marley seem to be on to something right. 
• curling up under a blanket reading my very latest book, The Skin We’re In by Desmond Cole. It’s a tough and sad one so I read a chapter at a time. 
• talking to family. 
• listening to my daughter’s Radio Show at Laurier called the Basement
• shamelessly playing Candy Crush on my phone. 
• hot tubbing it at night.

Nothing too much and nothing too exciting. Just unwinding and coming down from some pretty intense few weeks. 

Always make time for doing nothing. Your brain needs the rest and so do you.
