Yesterday was not one of our best days when it comes to getting work done. We did what we had to do to get ready for Glen to work today. We set up 3 courses of block on the chimney. It probably took a few hours and then we just couldn't get ourselves to do anymore. It was raining and dreary out and we were dreary too. The thought of working was unbearable, we were tied and depressed, but home was no better, so we ran. We went to a matinee in Bennington and chose Get Smart over The Hulk, because it was a comedy. What a difference that made, it was funny enough to make us laugh out loud, and it did lighten us up. I think it was necessary.
It's always a little scary to make a decision like we did, to leave work and go to a movie in the middle of the day. I always think, what if we so this again tomorrow, and then the next day? What if we get into the habit of not working every time we don't feel like it? What if we start quitting early and starting the day late? It's as if I don't want to put the idea out there, because it might take over and we'd get absorbed by it.
Actually, what usually happens, when we take a spontaneous day off , is the next day we are ready and excited to get back to work. I guess we'll see what happens.
