The Odd Day
Yesterday was one of those odd days for me. No appointments, car in the shop, no pressing chores. Plenty to do, but….
What I know about myself and the odd day is that when it comes along it shines a spotlight on my productivity and/or lack of same. I did get things done yesterday. But it seems when my schedule opens spontaneously, I get out of my structured rhythm. It is not about what I do, it is about what I don’t do.
Many years ago a woman commented to me that she was a much better housekeeper when she was working. Chores had to be done on a schedule or you would spend your days off cleaning and catching up. At first it didn’t make too much sense to me, but as the years passed I finally get it.
So, if you missed my blog yesterday, you now know why. There wasn’t one. Blogging went completely out of my mind, not returning til much later in the evening.
I am not getting on my own case, just entertaining my observing self and the insights provided. Don’t know if I am going to do anything to change the odd day; don’t know if I want to.
Odd days are kinda cool, like little mini-vacations. Enjoy one if it comes your way.
