Laziness as a lifestyle choice....
Spring is coming...and my hubby has all of these little DIY projects in mind....and me, I usually duck out of housework unless it is absolutely necessary. For example, the desk I am typing on looks like a light snowfall accumulated across it. I should really start thinking about passing a dust rag along the flat surfaces one of these days...
As it is, hubby "suggested" that I blow the pile of dead leaves out from in front of the door. It only took a few minutes but some wind was fighting me at one point. And all l could think was "futility. Why bother? Wouldn't chilling out be a whole lot EASIER?"
I am naturally a lazy person. I'd rather put my feet up, read, write a letter, or watch a movie that doing ANYTHING else. This used to shame me a lot. Now it shames me only a little bit.

Hello, I'm a first time visitor after reading your comment on the Frumpy Professor's recent blog post about being in a slump . Your comment that you live in NH caught my attention as I also live here, (Nashua) as of a few years ago. My husband and I are NJ natives who also lived on the VA eastern shore for a dozen years, but left because we'd used up most of our brain cells by then and needed to rejuvenate. By way of introduction, my actual name is Dorothy; Beatrice is a blog alias which was assumed when we started blogging. My husband, Patrick, uses the alias Grenville. The names are from Beatrice & Grenville Boyds bears figurines we own.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, Dorothy. I drifted to FRUMPY's site over a decade ago hoping to glean some insights about the venerable art of pipe smoking. In addition to that, I got to know this gentleman. I wandered away for awhile...now I'm back.
