If I got a grade for this, it would be "F"
Hey, it's me. Trying hard to do a lot of nothing.
I have my decaf and my faux-leather chair and Lapzilla. I have an Intrepid to keep the Gutsy and Spawnling ones occupied while I twiddle my thumbs and attempt NOT to feel guilty that the house is a huge mess, the laundry is backed up a good 5 loads and I haven't even contemplated what we're having for dinner tonight.
I know I have pneumonia. I know that. I get it. I just don't like not doing anything. In fact, my day of do-nothingness actually involved two visits from The Madre's friend to hem my pants for the funeral tomorrow, a trip outside in the rain to play with Spawnling because he really wanted to (great for my lungs, I'm sure), , running out for coffee since we were outside anyway, two loads of laundry, folding of said laundry, a load of dishes, the making of breakfast and lunch, and the picking up of Gutsy from preschool.
That's "doing nothing" in Mavenworld. It's a mom thing. We can't just sit here even with a potentially serious infection.
Oh, sorry. I said "potentially serious infection" to Geekster last night and he gave me the look. You know that look that husbands give when they're highly annoyed? That one. Then he said "Maven, you do not have a potentially serious infection. You have a serious infection" and then told me I needed to sit down while he made me food and got me water and watched only the television programs I wanted to watch.
This being sick thing isn't all bad, I suppose.
To keep my spirits up, Spawnling has decided to wave and say 'Hewwo' every time he sees me. Right now he's walking around with 3D glasses, in and out of the room and greets me every time he sees me. He's special, my Spawnling. Very... special.
Tomorrow afternoon is Good Grandma's funeral, followed by tea, coffee and deserts. Her favourite things. See why I'm going to miss her? We had so much in common.
I suppose I should go sit on the bed and fold laundry now. That's "doing nothing" isn't it? Does it make it more of nothing if I watch Oprah at the same time?
