Definitely a serious newspaper reading day for me ... Not just Sunday's, but Saturday's too.
And generally a slow moving sort of day ... No dramas allowed!
I like to cook and do crafts such as knitting, painting ceramics, etc... Today I'm knitting a pair of slippers, making homemade pizza's, and watching some old westerns. I also lurk around here and relax. I'm now waiting for bread machine to finish my pizza dough.
Sunday is a day to sleep in, like until 11:30 a.m., then have my java, whilst checking e'mails, then tidy up, make soda bread, laundry if I have any, watch a sappy movie, play with Paddy, etc.
Up at 5 am to walk my dog. Then read the newspapers for Sunday and part of the past week all day. Also did the wash early today, before the anyone else could get the machines .
Easy does it on Sunday. Not much work and lots of rest. Keep cool and calm and enjoy life!
sunday has been laundry day for me, for the past 25 years. for some reason, once i moved into my house, i couldn't get the idea that i can do laundry any day into my head, so i stuck to sunday. up early, play with the dogs, talk to Setanta, toss laundry down the stairs, follow it down more cautiously, make vat of tea, IM with neo when possible, check laundry, go outside between loads of laundry. It's a nice day.
Saturday's always laundry day for me. Sunday's the one day I'll talk on the phone to distant relatives, take a nap on the couch under my favorite blanket, (yes, my blankie), go for a walk along the canal, weather permitting, eat brunch out maybe. The best thing is, I don't have to cook. Mr. Dream does all the cooking both weekend days.
Sunday morning is for Mom. We go food shopping, and I do her finances, mail, and set out her medications for the week. Sometimes I will take her out to lunch, if she is up to it. Then I go back and do my own food shopping.
After that I am tired, so I sit for a time, and see what is doing on A2K.
Later in the afternoon, I may go out and "do something", but I have no idea what at this moment.
Yesterday, I nearly stripped my whole orange tree, and some of the grapefruit tree. This year the grapefruits are small, but there are a huge amount of them. I squeezed enough orange and grapefruit juice to fill a 96 oz. plastic bottle!
When I was younger, I used to find Sundays unbearably boring. There was nothing to do! Now I love them. It's so great that I don't actually have to do anything I choose not to. Sleep in, do what really needs doing, maybe go to a movie, maybe not. Heaven!
(And what really needs doing is a judgement call. I can easily convince myself that there's no hurry. I can do it tomorrow.)
I LOOOOOOOVE Sundays! Except Monday happens so soon afterwards - like now - waaaaah!
It used to be the one day I slept in, until I rebelled against the group of friends I used to meet for Saturday morning coffee, who insisted on an early start - (we combined it with shopping). Now - Saturday has become a sleep-in day, and I tend to wake early on Sunday.
It is a housework, laundry, paper day for me, too - and often a day when I meet friends mid-afternoon for a coffee, film, whatever - but I like to be home on Sunday night.
It also became chat morning, when we had the regular chat on the Raven's Realm, and sometimes that was so much fun that it went on for much of the day - pissed my friends off royally that I was out all the time and they could not ring me - I never confessed what I was doing, though....what a wuss!
Oh - and lately I always have a pile of work home that sits on my table reproachfully all day Sunday while I don't do it.....
I usually get up at around ten, have a light breakfast, kiss BigDice good-bye at eleven when he has to go to work - and I'll go to the gym to spend an hour on the bicycle ergometer. A nice shower after that and Sunday lunch with the Italian family BigD works for. Then a lazy afternoon for both of us until he has to go back to work. Sunday night I like it quiet - sometimes I'll meet a friend for a glass of wine in our neighbourhood bar - but just for an hour. Then it's either TV or A2K time.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, all this Sunday contentment!
All this productive, soothing activity!
All that washing done! Organized for the week!
But I'm surprised that no one experienced the pre-Monday jitters ... (I don't like Mondays! )When I worked full-time half my Sundays were wasted - anticipating (dreading!) the day to come. Silly & a waste, yes?
