Yesterday was a real do-nothing day. But after all the cooking and stuff on Monday, nothing was about all I could do.
I watched "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and found it, well, sort of boring actually. With such a great story line to work with, I would think the movie makers could have made it all more interesting. And also ask the actors to speak in voices that could be understood. I mostly followed the movie through body language (and dang! there was a lot of body language).
Ramey came over last night and we partook of yummy leftovers and then watched episode 2 of "Hatfields and McCoys." I didn't even clean up the kitchen later. Just put away what was left of the leftovers and piled the dirty dishes in the sink.
I got up this morning determined to not waste this day. So I made coffee, cleaned up the mess of dirty dishes in the sink, drank two cups of coffee and ate the last of the apple pie for breakfast. Then I caught up on my Words With Friends games and made haste to the sewing room. There I cleaned off my tables from the mess I had left working on Kay's journal. Then I stitched up the backing for the "love Birds" quilt.
Is that enough? Can I stop now? Do-nothing days always make me feel so guilty that I think I have to really do something worthwhile to make up for them. I hope I've made up. Because I don't think I can do any more. I might try to work on the "Mama in the Mirror" hand quilting. I have only two and half more weeks to finish quilting, adding the photo blocks, binding, sleeving, and labeling before the June guild challenge show. So I guess I better get a move on.

Love the photo and the caption! I understand it so well, too.
That is one way going to work helped. You got home, did a few tasks, and then it was free time. Guilt free. Now instead of work hours, I have limited spoons. That stinks! The "I shoulds" whisper inside my head no matter what I've already done.
I was just thinking that I'll have no UFO progress to report if I don't get busy today but I'm kind of tired from all this day has already held. I'm open to suggestions!
Cheers for apple pie for breakfast and for dishes that wait!
Hugs!

Susan, you sound like me! If I really take it easy, have a lazy day, I feel like I need to move mountains the next day! We both know better, don't we? I am so guilty of pushing myself on good days and then suffering the next. I hope I'll learn soon! Take it easy.
Hugs...
Apple pie for breakfast..YUM!
