Vegetating

I found out yesterday that I'm not good at "vegetating". I have had a really busy 2 months with even the weekends busy. I promised myself that after my job in Fort Totten was done and I was done with the centennial, I would take a day where I wouldn't shower, wouldn't do any work, and would just read or watch movies and relax inside my house.

The shower part worked out. I lasted until afternoon and then I felt driven to go do things. I think doing is part of my makeup. But, I will say that today I feel really rested and ready to go on with the rest of my summer and wrap up my assorted projects before school starts. I might take a small vacation, but I'm considering buying a better camera instead. (Part of my vegetating involved research on cameras, so does that count as vegetating?) I'm to the point in my photography that I'm running into the limits of my current camera. I replaced the last one too when I got frustrated with its limits.

Anyway, I'm back to being productive today!
 
I'm good until about noon of the first day. Then I gotta get busy. I can't stand to just sit or lay around and do nothing, I have to be doing something.

I've been sick with a high fever and by the second day I'm going crazy. I've gotten out of bed while sick as a dog and took a shower just so I can go walk around Home Depot and fondle the power tools.

Yes, I'm warped. ;D

Read somewhere it typically takes a minimum of 3 days to wind down.

Interesting. I can see that. Probably more if the situation is very stressful that you've been in.

I'm just a more sedentary type personality. When I go on vacation, I want to sit in the shade (or a/c if it's hot), read, take a nap, read, eat, read, and generally lay around. I like quiet. I seldom have enough time to myself to think (as in, give life matters a bit of thought), and I like to do that.

Productivity is overrated. :))

Dang, if that ain't the truth! The harder I work lately, the more I get yelled at. FLOG 'em all and feed 'em butter beans! :'(
