nothing to do!

raganiWow, this is the first time in I don't know how long that I have even half a day with absolutely no obligations. My partner is off at a RPG that will likely take the rest of the day. It has been a while since he has played with this group, and I am happy to see him get the chance to go game again. My mom has left to start her drive home. Thanks to our efforts to get ready for the holiday, and in cleaning up afterwards, the house is in the best condition it has been in since we moved in. I even unpacked another box of books today. Thanksgiving has provided plenty of food to keep us fed for a while. There is a large crock-pot full with simmering turkey soup (thanks mom) and plenty of quick meal options (including leftovers from last nights yummy yellow curry turkey dinner).
Sure, there are a load of things I could be doing (including loads of laundry) but nothing urgent that would prevent me from being able to relax. Now, I suppose all I have to go do is get started on that relaxing thing. One of the cats has decided I need some help along this path by insisting on lap time. What I really need to do is decide what form of relaxing I want to do with this precious time.
My default is to read, and I have several books I am reading that would be good to make progress on. Stangely, I am not really in the mood to just read. Other options include the more mentally engaging (update my web site), and the less (watching some of the Trading Spaces and other make-over show fluff currently saved on TiVo). All of those leave me time to get more loads of laundry done, which appeals to my practical side, but the TiVo one works best as I can fold while I watch. Sigh... It looks like I just talked myself into vegging in front of the TiVo. OK, if I bring a book, and only watch when I am folding laundry, I should feel accomplished enough to not feel guilty.
