Lazy days have taken on a different meaning for me as I’ve aged out of the labor force. As a result, I don’t feel anything if I have a lazy day simply because there is always work to be done. Whether or not it contributes to some professional goal or to avoid a difficulty that’s off in the horizon, lazy days are only lazy days until something happens that forces me out of that calm state.
Take, for instance, how during this time of the year, it’s always hovering about my consciousness that we have to inspect our swimming pool skimmers before winter sets in. We live near small water tributaries off the New Jersey coastline and the wildlife dynamics force us to have a degree of compromise with local animals and their life cycles – one of which are baby turtles. Some of them get stuck in the neighbor’s pool (or mine) thinking that they’ve made it to their natural habitat. Our job is to fish them out if we find them in time and drive them over to the water.
I thought this little guy was a goner when I fished him out of the skimmer reservoir 🙁 ….
Turns out he was just exhausted 🙂 …
Sees me as a fast warp ship to a water source lol.
But of course, once these little unexpected hiccups are out of the way, lazy days become lazy days again at the home office.
Have a great weekend y’all!
