Last night we had friends over for dinner and Risk (Ukraine is weak!) . I used basil, green beans, and some spectacular heirloom tomatoes from my garden to make dinner. It was really fulfilling to serve a meal using ingredients I grew.
Today we slept in a bit, then EGM went to work. I'm staying home, but I have a ton of writing work to do. When he left, EGM was all, "so you're going to sit around and read blogs all day?" and I was all, "no" in my most indignant voice. So I guess I better get to work now so I can prove him wrong.
ETA: I totally did nothing today. I let myself rot in that place between work and relaxation. Where you keep saying you need to do some work, so you don't let yourself do anything that's actually fun, but you don't actually do any work. So you spend the day feeling bad. EGM came home early to rescue me -- we went on a walk, and now I've given up on working and I'm trying to enjoy the rest of the evening. I can't afford any more days like this before I defend!

ahh.. the famous "link to the East" or "how many countries can actually border to one place" ;)
I haven't played in good while and I miss it. Always a lovely time trying to protect Iceland against those attacks for the west and protecting Australia from everyone else.
good luck with working. I have to admit I have done nothing today either......
I know what you mean... right up to the very end of my thesis I used to have days like this. It is exactely as you describe, you don't do anything really, just sitting and telling yourself "work".
I used to tell myself those days are the days where your brain uncnciously creates those hot theories about your work, so it is not wasted time ... But I am not so sure ;)
Good luck tomorow
I know what you mean about growing your own food. I have some herbs in pots on the patio and everytime I cut some to use I get a really good feeling.
Also, I'm totally with you on the work thing. If I deviate from my schedule at all I end up spending a lot of time thinking I ought to be working but not actually working.
I didn't do anything either. I played some Risk on Facebook though.
I entertained a guest all weekend - and now I need sleep.
Oh, and Ukraine is very desirable because of connectivity and very tough to defend - IRL, everybody that's anybody has attacked and ran it over. I am frequently "given" Ukraine whenever we play Risk, so I use my knowledge of history to my advantage ;)
This happens to me almost any time I try to stay home and get work done. The worst part is that I manage to convince myself over and over that "this time" will be different, but it never is. :)
Well, at least I'm in good company!
And I should pick up Facebook Risk, especially now that I appreciate the simultaneous power and vulnerability of countries like Ukraine. :)
