sleep in heavenly peace

Aaaahhh.

The Thai massage workshop was cancelled due to the snow. I was and am really disappointed about this – not just because I’ve been looking forward to it so much, but because I really did not feel this amount of snow was worth cancelling anything. I also hate how people tend to cancel for snow before considering what the roads will look like the next day – they always, always look better in the morning than they do the night before. But I’m not in Arlington, I’m 30 miles east, so I guess things could be different out there. Either way, the next session is in March, which sucks, but I will just have to wait until then.

I think this might have been a little kick from the universe to tell me to slow down and relax a little. Not everything needs to be done now now now. Supposedly.

Since I planned everything this weekend to have this day unavailable, I now have a sort of free day, and I decided to spend it doing almost nothing. We went this morning and got a 1200-calorie breakfast at Bob Evans, and then I came back, parked myself on the couch with Specials, and drifted in and out of sleep for about four hours. I’m awake again, now, but I feel rested and warm. And happy. My disappointment about the workshop’s cancellation has certainly been mitigated by all this sleep.

I ordered $130 worth of books and DVDs from Amazon yesterday. Some of them are required or recommended for the yin workshop I’ve definitely decided to go to in June – J is going too and I am mooching off her for her hotel room – but others were just there and looked good. I don’t think I’ve ever made such a large Amazon order just for myself before, and I feel guilty about it. I tend to order $5 used DVDs, one or two at a time, or to make big orders if it’s Christmas or I have things to get for other people, but it’s rare for me to get a lot of new stuff for myself at once.

For the rest of the afternoon I’m going to cook next week’s lunches, hopefully talk myself into cleaning up the house, play around with a Reiki kit I ordered, and maybe even nap some more. It’s a free day, after all. Napping is allowed.

I heart the weekend.
