I tried really hard not to work yesterday and to enjoy a day of rest away from my computer.

That is hard work.

It was too hot (another 35 degree scorcher) to go outside for long. Everyone else in the house was engaged in solitary pursuits, like working on web pages or watching movies. I bounced around the house, trying to amuse myself. Ate a marshmallow. Made some iced coffee. Finished a book and took a nap.

I did spend time at the computer—even worked for an hour or so—but it was extremely reduced from my usual 12 hours. I think my day would have been more satisfying if I had just given up and worked like I usually do. Posted by kuri at July 16, 2001 07:14 AM
