I have holed myself up in my bedroom with a new episode of Glee and a beer (yes, I’m out of red wine). Actually, as this episode moves forward, I’m starting to suspect that this too is another Glee repeat. Which would go with the rain cheque theme of my week.
Here is what I have managed to do so far this week:
- Shower
- Work
- Wash dishes
- Laundry
That’s it. Just the very basics for me this week. Everything else is on rain cheque. I just can’t manage more than the basics right now. Well, yeah, I’m sure I could if I really tried. But every now and then I allow myself to do a rain cheque week. This means that I do the basics and allow myself to “rain cheque” everything else. Sometimes I suspect that this annoys, offends or makes people roll their eyes. But, hey, I know what works. And shutting down every now and then to recharge works for me.
Here is what I have rain chequed this week:
- Dentist appt
- Hairdresser appt
- Boot camp (tonight)
- Wearing co-ordinating clothes
- Cooking (okay, I never do that)
I used to think I was the only person who “indulged” themselves like this, but then a woman who became a wonderful friend told me she does what she calls “going to the cave.” By this, she does basically what I’m doing right now … holing herself up on her own for a bit.
How about you? Do you do any kind of preservation techniques like “rain chequing” or “going to the cave”? Or do you just push through and get’er done?
