Saturday 11/20/2010

First day of vacation has begun.
I cleaned both pond filters today - a major chore and the most time consuming task of dealing with ponds, at least these ponds - and also checked in on the turtles.  They are not coming out of the water and I assume they are hibernating.  It isn't cold enough to put them in the box like the experts told me I should - it's still getting up into the high 70's during the daytime.

I have done nothing else besides cranking around the internet and - nothing.  I didn't turn the TV on until 5:00 pm.  I am on vacation, I probably should DO something, ie: go OUT and do something, but, I just didn't feel like it today.  Tenants told me I should go to the casino, considering my history.  Yes, but, it just wasn't there for me today, the feeling hasn't been there since the last time I went.  Of course,the last time I went, I came home with - $300 I  think it was - more than I went in there with.  Not a huge haul, but not bad for one nights' worth of entertainment.

Wow.  Lots of distractions.  Not a long entry, but I'm done with this one.

G'nite.

sometimes it's good to just do nothing. I have off days when I should do stuff, but the to-do list is so long, I end up doing nothing! lol After all, it'll all still be there tomorrow, right? ;-)

Hiya Dorrie:
Yes, definitely there are times when doing nothing is very good. I mean, there is ALWAYS something to be done, but I enjoyed yesterday. Today I have been a bit more busy, but no too much : )

kate: Yes, time off is always something you seem to count the days on. Thanks, so far it mostly HAS been R & R.
