Well, it's finally Boxing Day. This is the day when we all sleep in after the orgy of greed; after the presents have been handed out, after we have all eaten ourselves into a stupor and then not wanted dinner... and worse of all... we can't sleep because we're all overtired from all that socialising on the big day of Christmas. Yep, Boxing Day is the day where we all kick back, relax and drink in the day as we wait for our brains to catch up with whatever we've missed out on otherwise.
Today, though, I woke to a day that was as dreary - or worse - as yesterday. It's raining, cloudy and boring; except I have all my presents ready to use. My laundry hamper is sitting just outside my bedroom door in use right now, I put the metal fish my brother bought in Asia on top of the sub-woofer (to keep Little Miss Stevie off it) and my Zumba Kit is sitting by the dvd player waiting for me to use it. And this afternoon - around 3pm - I'm going to put in one of the dvds and give it a try. I hope I like it; and I'm sure I will.
Today, of all days, we as people don't want to go anywhere or do anything too extreme. Today, being Boxing Day, the sales are on, the bad movies continue on television and the weather should be nice, hot and sunny; but it isn't. So, people have taken their kids to the movies and grabbed the best dvds from their collections, jumped online and pulled out the books they've been meaning to read. After all, it's school holidays and this is the time when people get into the things they don't have the time for during the year.
For me, I have this day reserved to do absolutely zilch. It's a day where I sleep in, kick back and watch the day slip by and not feel horrible about it. I have movie marathons, read a few chapters from a book, leave the washing up for another day (but I didn't this morning. It badly needed to be done). Today has been fun for me to do nothing much on the computer and not feel bad about it; not feel as though I need to be somewhere. But tomorrow, it'll be different.
Yes, tomorrow, I am going to begin sorting out my dvd collection and putting it into an Index book so I know exactly what movies I have and they'll be in some kind of order. Plus that index book will be stored with the dvds in the cabinet or nearby somewhere so I can keep tabs on what ones I get; seeing my collection is rather big now.
Tomorrow, I'll be finding places for my gifts. Okay, I've begun doing that, but the rest of the it all will put away and the place will have a quick going over; as I didn't have the energy yesterday or last night. So, seeing today it the nothing day for most of us, I'm looking forward to tomorrow... the day where I get into working on my things for everything to begin looking good again.
Until my next post, take care and I hope you had a very Merry Christmas; receiving all you wished for and more.
