Laziness

I am a lazy person. I am the first to admit it. If given the choice between a walk on a beautiful spring day and sitting on the couch watching infomercials I would wave as my husband closed the door. Between a homemade stir-fry and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...hand me the raspberry jam.

I'm not a slob, even if my laundry pile just fell over. I see myself as a low-energy being. A body at rest stays at rest and I'm very restful.

On the first of April I became faux-retired. I am not old enough to be officially retired and I assume I will eventually have to get another job to pay the bills...but not for several months.

After several years of imagining what this would be like, I figured I knew how this is going to play out:

• Sleep in until 10
• Coffee and cereal in front of the morning Facebook posts
• Change out of PJs into sweats and slippers
• Play some Warcraft and Candy Crush
• PBJ and Fritos for lunch
• Afternoon nap
• Read a book on the deck
• More Facebook
• Watch Dave make dinner
• Catch a few cop shows or a movie
• Warcraft and Facebook until 2am
• Climb into bed

I was wrong.
