Some might say I’m being “lazy”

But I prefer to call it “awesome.”

In the past six days, I have not gotten up before 10:30 a.m. and I have not gone to bed before 2 a.m. (one time I fell asleep on the couch at like 10:30, but then I woke back up at 1 a.m. and was awake for at least three more hours). Ian and I (and occasional random friends) have been playing Rock Band 2 on our new Xbox 360, and I have been playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion pretty much non-stop since Christmas night.

Before the break, I said to people who asked what I was going to do with my week after Christmas off, “I’m going to sit on my ass and play video games all week long.” But in the back of my mind, I told myself I would also clean out my closet, clean up our office and mop the kitchen and bathroom floors. I also have to go get a new driver’s license since my last name is now different.

But you know what? I am really enjoying myself. For the first time in several months, I feel truly relaxed. I love just hanging out with Ian being silly, having the cats sleep on the couch next to us as we play video games or watch TV (or play video games. Seriously y’all. Like six hours at a time), not having any plans or anywhere to be or anything to do.

I had a couple things to knock out for work yesterday, and I’ve got a project to complete on Friday that will probably take me about six hours, but I can do that in my pajamas on the couch (and I will).

You know what my big goal for today is? Take a shower and go to Kroger. That is the only real task I have to accomplish. Well, that and I need to find some better armor because these steel greaves and cuirass aren’t protecting me from shit in those caves.
