Homebody

Those of you who read my blog regularly know that I love to travel.  We have a trip to Europe every other year, visit family, go on book tours, go birding and just exploring.

I have a confession.  I have days where I don’t leave the house.  Once in a great while I stay home two days in a row.  It affords me the opportunity to be alone, decompress and realign myself.  Many of those days I hang around in my bathroom until lunch – just because I can.

I work on the little things that need to be done in life.  I do laundry; I put that blue liquid stuff in the dishwasher for clean glass and cups.  I fill the soap dispensers in the kitchen and bathroom from the giant bottle purchased at Costco.

I explore YouTube to find what I can find.  I watch a video on how to use my new WORX power scrubber or listen to The Three Irish Tenors.  Every half hour or so I intentionally get up from my laptop computer and do some little chore that requires me to walk around the house - like cleaning the cat litter boxes.  There are times I like to sit in the sunroom, watch the birds, feel the breeze on my face and daydream.    
​
These are important days – they keep me balanced and sane.
Do you ever take a lounging, stay-at-home day?  Send me a comment.
