Indulgences
It’s been a stressful month. Between the start of football
season (only stressful because I have two boys who play and their schedules
turn MY schedule on its ear every year), a cat who has decided the litter box
is NOT where she wants to use the bathroom (either because she’s going senile
or developing some kind of kidney problem), back to back business trips (both
my day job and my author life), contracting with a new publisher, preparing for
a November craft fair (if I waited until the last minute I’d really lose it),
and trying to learn the art of self-publishing I’m getting a little tense.
It occurred to me this weekend that I should probably take a
little time for myself before I snap. The usual relaxation techniques are not
working.
I’m thinking a spa day might be in order. One that includes
a massage and mani-pedi. Maybe even a haircut just for giggles.
Or perhaps I should take a kick boxing class. Work that
stress out.
Sad to say the thought of hiring someone to come in and
clean my house, top to bottom, holds a great deal of appeal right now. And it’d
alleviate some of my stress because then I wouldn’t have to do it! Of course,
fifteen minutes after my boys came home, it’d be a mess again. *sigh* I still
don’t understand how that’s possible.
Actually, what would be the absolute bomb would be if I
could ship everyone off from my house so a fleet of cleaning fairies could come
in and clean and sort everything, then I could spend an entire weekend – ALONE
– to simply enjoy the peace and quiet and fresh Clorox smell. I might also need
Bjorn, the hunky masseuse to come in for a bit and rub my feet while I indulged
in brownies (that taste great but would never go to my hips or butt) and
several novels from my TBR pile.
Ah… that’d be a weekend in heaven.
So what do you guys do to relax when everyday life gets to
be too much?
Dena Garson loves to read romance—the hotter the better.
When one of her BFFs said “one of us should be writing this stuff”, she took up
the challenge. If she isn’t writing, she’s designing jewelry but somehow she
still manages to make it into the office on a regular basis.

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Glad to be invited to hang with you divas!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your stresses...if your kitty is getting older, make sure the height on the litter box isn't too much for her to climb into (if she has arthritis or something like the rest of us, lol)...and don't use a covered box (I always think of those Porta-potties that I hate!) And, of course, to escape my woes I hide with a book and escape into someone else's world where everything works out, lol.
