It's hot for sure and I will not be getting into my car to do the little bit of fuse replacement I need to - blown 12 Volt outlet in the console - It's an easy enough fix but, at 27 C not so much :-) Likewise, I really could do with doing some garden chores but once again, it is that hot as to not be comfortable either. So I will not actually do anything involving physical work today. I now have the gates (the infamous bloody gates) to do a small repair on as I notice two of the bracing timbers are coming away from their supports! Great - so parts ordered and another thing on the list to do.
But it's OK not to do things now. I'm retired and so it can wait as I have all the time now. When I worked it may have meant leaving it until the next free weekend to fit around my other chores! Now I can see that it doesn't matter.
The adjustment is very difficult for me - I have always "been busy" with stuff and chores, projects, work etc. Now, not so much. It's whether or not to do anything in the spaces in between or to just let those happen and it bothers me and I need to adjust, acclimatise and get used to it I guess? It's not easy at all.
So my next work in progress is not to feel guilty that I am not doing anything, rather embrace that and work out from there what to do after that, when I've accepted it.
