Doo Dah, Doo Dah, Blah

Fourth of July week - here is how is was supposed to be - three days off, both kids gone, Dwight and I going on a trip somewhere. Here's how it was - three days off, a bad cold, slept most of two of the days, no trip, a brief outing to the Doo Dah parade (in the rain) and then home and back to the couch. Blah! Kind of disappointing. But, the magic is, I guess, that sometimes your body takes over and says, "You have been working too much you need to rest." At first I felt like I wasted SO much time sleeping and laying on the couch when there were SO many things to do. But, maybe there is some magic in just slowing down and doing nothing.
