One of my ongoing goals is to find a way, somehow, to have Sunday be a true day of rest. I just honestly have no idea if I'll get get there. By way of illustration, I was very busy yesterday. I hit the grocery store, exercised, fixed meals, meal prepped this week's lunches (soup) and dinners (pizza), did the laundry, did some of the weekly cleaning, did a couple cabinets, went to the farm, did multiple loads of dishes and hand wash, did some Christmas shopping, etc etc etc. It was a productive day. BUT. I didn't come close to getting everything done. I didn't do the last dishes. I have stuff cluttering the table. I didn't bring in the rest of the Christmas decor that I retrieved from storage since it started to rain. I didn't clean out the fridge or do about half of my weekly cleaning chores. And, most importantly, I didn't get in any time at the office where, at a bare minimum, I need to take care of my personal mail and pick everything up before another week hits.
Guess when I have to do all that stuff that wasn't done? Today! Sunday! It's no wonder I rarely go to church and there is not much rest to be had. At least there shouldn't be, sometimes I just burn out.
Presumably part of the solution is to move some of the tasks to weekdays so the weekends are not so chocked full. And some of that is, in fact, doable. I just do not know if I can shift enough stuff to weekdays to ever have a true day of rest on Sunday.
Breakfast: Cheese toast, coffee
I got a little carried away cleaning up the loaf of bread. As it worked out, I cleaned up an open cheese too.
Late morning snack: 2x TB sausage breakfast tacos. Tiny but tasty. Also had a bite of the chorizo and egg strata I made for the next couple days.
Lunch: Wendy's 2x son of baconator
Later, cleaned up the chips and onion dip
Dinner: Roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, carrots. Vanilla cake w ice cream
Later, 2x big mac, sprite, nice peppermint patties
Exercise: Nope. Day of rest. I'll have to settle for a zillion chores.
