Snow and recovery

[theatokos]

Today I woke up to serious snow and snow still falling. I feel like I 'should' go out run errands: mail thank yous, maybe go to laundrette, buy groceries, take B for a play, all before it gets wet and cold and freezes and our hill becomes impossible to get up or down.

But all I want is a day of recovery. I want to be warm and veg out in silence. Maybe take a long hot bath. Snuggle my kid. Possibly get it on with my husband. Read. Drink tea and wine. Snuggle the cats. You can see where my priorities are.

Your priorities sound perfect. This is where the house boy would come in handy.

Do you have an extra house boy to spare?

I couldn't agree more! Sounds like perfect prioritization to me.

You once commented on one of my journal entries on the evilness of the word "should". Ever since then, I've become very conscious of that word and try to replace it with either "need" or "want" - makes things a lot clearer that way.

That 'should' exercise is very very telling. I find that my family use it WAAAAY too often for my liking. I stuck to my priorities today. Tomorrow is another day.

I think those are great priorities!

Thanks. I did go out for groceries. But that's it!
