R and R

I know I wrote about sleep already, but Rest and Relaxation are totally different. With sleep you revive your body and mind. But with R and R, you revive you body, mind and SOUL.

Many things make me happy, but I love my relaxing time. I don't need money to do it, just the time. I find many ways to relax. I go on my deck with a nice cold iced tea, knitting and just sit. Sometimes, I sit on my orange throne and veg out in front of the tv. Othertimes, I lay in my bed, daydream or noodle around with my laptop. It doesn't matter what I am doing, it is not supposed to be totally productive.

My vacation is at the end of this month and I plan on doing nothing. They call it a 'staycation' now, but I think I perfected it. Usually, we stay up late watching movies, then wake up to watch 'The View' take another nap, then take our showers, get dressed and head out. Each day we go to another part of the city. One day we will go downtown and hit up the bookstore and the mall. Actually, we go to town a few days a week. Another day, we go to the International District and go to Uwajimaya's, then we will hit up the U District where my favorite yarn store is. The Market is a afternoon all by itself, it is packed with so much to see. But at least three times during our staycation, I will drag my laptop to Tully's and do whatever until my battery goes out.

After our afternoon of fun, we either eat out or I make a simple dinner. Shoot, sometimes we eat cereal. They are usually packed full of vitamins and stuff, so don't chastise me please.
