To Rest or not to Rest?

Today I am truly considering doing absolutely nothing! I'm not sure if this would be a wise decision or not, because there is plenty I could and should be doing. I use to enjoy "doing nothing" fairly often. Usually, about once a week, but those days seem so long ago. In reality it was probably really only like four months ago, but you know. I don't know. It's a beautiful day out, and it just feels like a good day to just rest, take naps, take a hot bath, watch a movie, and just do nothing. I'll think I'll do it or not do it really, since after all I am "doing nothing". I'm just tired of always being on the go! It's time to rest and relax and just enjoy this beautiful day that God made!!!! There's really nothing that can't wait until tomorrow.

I may make the exception and go to the tanning bed, but I don't suppose that really counts. All I do in there is just lay anyway. My most recent tanning bed experience (Wednesday) was not pleasant. Well the actual laying in the tanning bed was wonderful and relaxing as always. The afterwards, however, was not. I burnt my boobs and my butt, places that have probably only seen the sun few times, if ever. But I found this odd, because on Monday when I went, I was in the exact same bed for the exact same amount of time, and I did not burn at all. Well, Ashley enlightened me as to why this probably happened. She's a tanning bed expert, and goes every year. As I am not, and have only gone to the tanning bed on a regular basis once before. Well, she explained to me that probably someone was in the bed not long before me. She said then the bulbs were already warmed up and were therefore stronger. She said, she often gets burnt when this happens. And she said, on Monday I probably went it to a cold bed, that hadn't been used for a while. It made sense to me. So I will just see if the bed is warm next time before I go in, so I can stay in less time so I won't get burnt. The whole burning thing pushed me back a little, because I wasn't able to go for a couple days until the burns healed. The burns are healed now, so I should be able to make it today. :)

Well now that I wrote a book on my tanning bed experiences, I guess I should go. I think I'll go take a nice hot bath. That's usually something I reserve for the night, but it just seems like a good idea to do now. It's kind of chilly in the house this morning.
