March 17 - Nothing

It’s really difficult for me to feel okay about doing ‘nothing’.

I’ve been exhausted this week. My body is tired and achey and I’ve been catching up on sleep after a stressful (but good) long weekend of meeting the boyfriend’s entire family. I’ve also been absolutely slammed at work and said yes to a couple freelance projects that I’ve been waking up early for before my actual work day even starts.

We got back from Florida super late on Tuesday night (actually Wednesday morning) and all day Wednesday and then - this one being a very fun surprise - all day yesterday my apartment’s water was shut off.

I’m usually the type of person that needs to unpack immediately after a trip. I can’t deal with my suitcase sitting there full of clothes I could be wearing if they were clean, taking up space that I really can’t afford living in a 1 bed.

However. Not having water threw a wrench in my plans. Laundry was a no-go. Washing my dishes was a no-go! Filling up my Brita? No-go.

I’m sitting here now after working for 9 hours on a Friday (nightmare!!!!) and my suitcase is laying open and full in the hallway. I really do not want to walk down the flight of stairs to check if the washers are open, trek back up, get everything together, go back down, and start my wash. And I’m trying to be okay with that. My dishes are all done and laundry can wait until tomorrow morning. For now, I’m going to work on feeling okay about doing nothing.
