Feeling slow

A quiet day.  After a weekend that seemed a bit overbusy, it's nice to be in bed with the window open and just enjoy the noise of the fan blowing.  Had planned on watching an Inspector Lewis on my laptop this afternoon (after a brief grocery store run) but have been reading blogs instead. Well, one in particular.  Entertaining my brain.

I woke with a mildly achy head.  Felt punky and have been a bit easier on myself as a result.  The laundry's gotten washed and hung out, but only that.  Some days are like that---with needing to be kinder to myself.  Least that's the way I look at it.  Have tried to read a book, but my head (which still feels a bit off) wants simple food to eat.  Big words and extensive thinking just don't seem to fit the bill today.  Had picked up a Charles Williams (a pal of Tolkien and CSLewis) book at the library that was on hold and I just can't get into it.  When there's too much imagery, I often miss out.  Like missing the punchline to a joke.  I'm just not feeling it. :)

So will putter through the rest of the day.  Thankfully I have a husband who doesn't fuss at me when he comes home to a house that looks either similar to, or worse than the one he left in the morning.  With 8 kids in and out, he'd be mean to hold me up to an overly high standard.  But I'll probably make an effort.  A tiny one.
