Summer Vacation - Day 3

My dog and cat are both asleep; the cat curled up near the sliding glass doors in the sun and my dog not far from my feet. They are relaxing, and I should be. But I feel like I should be doing so much more.

After waking up at 7 (7! On my vacation!) I spent most of the morning and early afternoon running errands. Today I got paid, and I wanted to go buy a few things I had been putting off. But first, I splurged and had a pedi; I've needed one for quite a while, and felt bad that the woman who had to work on my feet had to do so much work to get them looking nice. I gave her a very nice tip, and, I think, she was quite surprised!

I bought a few things here and there, including a small patio side table and a larger one. I discovered that it is best to purchase these things in the middle of summer- that's when the stores have great sales, as they are trying to clear out the summer merchandise (I imagine, to make way for back to school items.) I also learned that I should measure my balcony before purchasing a table. I got home and realized the table may not fit. Oh well, I got it at a great price, and it's a nice one, so I will keep it for when I finally move to a larger place.

And still, I feel like I should be doing more. There's a ton of stuff that still needs to be brought up and gone through. But it's so warm, and, like the pets, I am feeling so sleeping. Maybe I should learn from them. Forget keeping busy - just relax!
