Lazy Day

Aaaahhhhh the weekend.  I will be particularly grateful for the time-change tonight as I can justify sleeping in that extra hour tomorrow, although I'm almost positive the kids will be up early anyway.   On school days you can barely drag them out of bed and they are oh-so-tired, yet on Saturdays and Sundays they all pop out of bed like popcorn at 7am while mom and dad desperately grasp at a few moments of extra sleep.  I'm sure we'll miss it when they are teenagers and sleep till 1 in the afternoon.

My theme song for today is The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars which I am enjoying on the couch still lounging around in yoga pants at 4 in the afternoon and trying to do as little as possible.  My body has been telling me to take a break.  Not to just take a day off, but to actually do as little as possible.  To read, rest, reflect... just breathe.  I recognize those ominous signs from previous times in my life when I have gone too long without a real break - the hour long periods of adrenalin that make my heart beat too fast and cause nervousness and anxiety for no reason.  The tossing and turning at night.  The inability to sleep more than a few hours in a stretch without waking up.

I'm not stressed, not mentally at least.  I'm actually quite happy.  But I know from experience that it's best not to ignore those kinds of indicators as they are very much akin to a road sign telling you that the bridge is out ahead.  So today is for relaxing, playing the piano, and sipping coffee.  If I get a moment on the studio computer I might work on my Lights remix and post a sample to check out here.

For now, Namaste.  And enjoy the video.
