Day 77 of the 90 Days of Awesome is in the bank! What made today awesome? I treated myself to a Suzie Housewife Day!
A Suzie Housewife Day is a day I get to be mellow, stay home, and do chores. It may sound boring, but it’s quite relaxing. The day started out with a 4-mile run just after sunrise. It’s been so hot in Phoenix, I was soaked with sweat by the end of it. And I was tired again, so I laid down on the floor next to Rosie who was crashed out in her bed and I fell asleep for 45 minutes. I guess Rosie didn’t appreciate me napping so close to her because she had moved to another room by the time I woke up again.
I took a shower and put on a fresh tank top and oversized pajama pants and started working around the condo. I got quite a bit done:
- Did laundry
- Balance my checkbook
- Paid bills
- Vacuumed the floors
- Cleaned dishes
- Brushed Rosie
- Boiled chicken for Rosie (Yes, my dog gets chopped chicken with her kibble at every meal. She’s spoiled.)
- Made chickpeas and veggies to have over rice for lunch at work this week (It’s a recipe from the Star Trek Cookbook.)
- Did my weekly strength test (I’m up to 30 consecutive push-ups!)
In between all of this, I was binge watching the routines from the U.S. National Gymnastics Championships. Both the men and women’s teams look awesome this year. I’m started to get excited for next year’s Olympics.
Even though I was pretty productive, it was a restful day. I didn’t feel pressured to do anything. I just whatever I wanted to do next. It feels good to get things prepared for the upcoming week.
