I went to Anacortes and spent some time doing nothing last week.
Now I’m back at HBHQ and spent today doing something and my ankles are larger to prove it.
Doing nothing involves going on meandering strolls, baking lemon bars, visiting friends, meeting your mother-in-law and mom for lunch, not answering your phone, seeing your sister-in-law, getting a massage, checking your e-mail, not taking pictures, practicing swaddling and shushing, going swimming, napping, reading Rolling Stone, watching hats get made, feeling sorry for dogs and their drama, taking bets, listening to wise grandmothers, and finally looking out the window contemplating doing something.
Since I spent most of my day doing something today, I think I’m ready to go back to doing nothing.
It sure was nice.
Thanks, Mom & Dad for letting me come do nothing.
