Official Lazy Day

We have hereby declared a Lazy Day in the House of Procrastination.

Our original plans for the day involved getting all packed up by 9am, driving out to Chris's school, and spending the day getting work done. Chris would get prep work for the next week done, while I would read a couple of books. Then we would drive home and wash a lot of dishes.

But then Chris woke up feeling really sick. This is his second weekend in a row where we hit weekend and suddenly he was sick. Last weekend it was a migraine. This weekend, it's some crazy virus -- his stomach and his sinuses are in pain.

Admittedly, we haven't been sleeping enough around here. There's so much to do that we push back bedtime further and further, but then Chris still has to get up at the same time. And, much as he absolutely loves his job, these first weeks of the school year have been stressful. We tried to watch Magic School Bus this morning, but they were trying to get everything ready for the first day of school (with only half an hour until all the kids arrived!) and that was too stressful for Chris. The last thing he needed was his Saturday morning cartoons reminding him of work.

(Apparently, we've both been under stress.)

And so that's it. I'm still in my pyjamas, hanging out in bed and sitting under the SAD lamp. Chris is curled up on the couch, and I haven't heard a sound out of him in half an hour. We have no goals for today.
