Missing in action

So, what have I been doing the last couple of weeks (besides not blogging)? Nothing, absolutely nothing! I have finished all of my college classes and work is out for the summer, so I have become a complete slug. It's been very nice to have no schoolwork hanging over my head. I never realized how much pressure I was really under, how I never fully relaxed for the past several years. Anytime I sat to read or do anything else I always felt like I should be studying or doing homework. I didn't realized it until I finally finished--what a sense of freedom! I literally felt like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. I have totally taken advantage of not being under deadlines. I've been reading, knitting, watching tv. Until yesterday, that is. Dd wanted her bedroom painted so I happily obliged (I kind of like to paint). Going up and down that ladder, stretching, reaching...it felt good to move again! So now that I have more time and I've rested up, I'm getting back on track--going to exercise more, eat less, catch up on all the household projects I've been putting off.
