A Day of Nothing

I have nothing much to write about today. I took a mental health day. I planned on doing some major cleaning, but the more I thought about it, the more I added to the list. Eventually, it got to the point of no return. I had mapped out a cleaning list that literally spanned everything in the house. From my bedroom to the family room at the opposite end of the house. And what do I do when things get to feel too daunting? NOTHING. No one really cares if my house is perfect except me. I need to continue working on being OKAY with imperfection. After all, nothing actually is perfect.

I spent the entire day laying in bed. Not in a deep, depressive way. I did get up to feed the kids, get water, other minor life activities. I just chose to hang out in my room. I binge watched Criminal Minds, played on my phone, took a nap. It was lovely! Sometimes you really do need a day of nothing.

Snookums came home from work looking so happy. It makes me happy that he's found something that makes him light up. It doesn't pay enough to be a forever job (maybe if he makes it to management, I don't know), but for now it's income we didn't have before, it works with his school schedule, and he's happy doing it. I'm grateful.

I took a shower, Snookums is rubbing my back and neck (yes as I write this), I feel so good. It's not often I feel such an overwhelming sense of well-being, but I'm feeling it now. It's the way I want to feel all the time.
