It’s nice to have pleasant surprises that change the schedule of your weekend.

Yesterday, my schedule just fell into place in such a way that I could just focus on the base priorities for today. It’s not a total day off but functionally, it is one.

So, I had some people over last night to watch TV and have order-in dinner. I also, slept in very very late this morning (only waking up briefly and then sleeping again) to take care of things that need to be set up early in the day.

I didn’t even open up my livingroom shades.

It’s nice to have days like this. Especially on a Friday where it significantly frees up more time for the weekend.

I don’t think I’m going to open up my shades for the rest of the day. I kind of like this feeling of just being inside a warm cocoon – with internet access, the ability to order food delivery, and frozen waffles ready to be toasted.

This little paradise is – in feeling – what lounging on a Riva boat in Lake Garda looks like if it were stylized for film – but the ability to have waffles on demand is what pushes my house setup strongly to the finish line first!

I am extremely grateful πŸ˜€

Have a great weekend!

    Hey Mike, the music choice is just..what’s the word..cool 😎 but I think you really need to get out and soak up some rays!

    Mike i really like how this is all about simplicity. Don’t have to be going anywhere or doing anything to enjoy life! That’s awesome πŸ‘πŸ½

      exactly CJ – sometimes, just blooming where you’re planted makes all the difference in the world πŸ˜‰

    I totally understand, Mike! I experienced that cozy ‘inside a warm cocoon’ feeling just last week. Days like those really suit my mood perfectly.

    I’m so glad you enjoyed your late night dinner, and your Friday morning ‘me’ time! We all deserve days like that!

    I absolutely love the pictures of the closed blinds! I had to look at them a few times before I realized what I was really seeing. Haha. The lighting creates such a wonderfully creative scene in my imagination.

    That video was truly fantastic! I enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing it!
    Happy Friday, Mike!

      thank you Betty! and I’m glad you got to enjoy a relaxing day. it really does help to recharge.

      and yes, the blinds being closed were nice. I did, however, just let a teeny bit of sunshine come through later in the day lol πŸ˜€

    This looks like a perfect reset day!! I know that you enjoyed every minute. Yay you!

    1. Michael Williams Avatar

      oh gosh Karen, it was something needed. I think the impact would have been less if it were a Tuesday or a Wednesday. the fact that I was free for Friday just made it perfect! hope you are having a great night up there!

    Mike I hope your weekend went well. It is such a luxury to sleep in 😁.

    The way you’ve angled the pictures makes the room cozy and warm… I’m getting those vibes. I love your photographer’s eye 😍

      thanks Iba! yes! it was a very relaxing weekend!

    Sometimes you just need a cocoon to relax in and it certainly feels that way with the shades drawn! Hope you had a lovely weekend – PS Frozen waffles – goodness, sounds delightful! I haven’t had waffles in years – perhaps a trip to the store is in order! Thanks for the inspiration!

    1. Michael Williams Avatar

      yes! you know, prior to this early spring, it never crossed my mind to buy frozen waffles. now, I’m doing it at least once a month and it occupies a priority tier in my grocery shopping πŸ™‚

      I just get the ones that can be toasted and I find the strawberry ones are an especially amazing breakfast !

      1. misifusa Avatar

        I’ll admit I’ve never tried strawberry frozen waffles! I will have to look for them at the store now! Thanks for the recommendation Michael! πŸ™‚
