The Zadge had a day off from the Big Thing at work today, which was fortunate because the Zadge was on the brink of a physical breakdown between the lack of sleep and the raging head cold she suffered through all week. So she took a sick day to catch up on sleep and do nothing.
So she slept until 8:30 this morning, which was three and a half hours later than her usual wake up times this week.
Then she took Harry, who is missing his little brother, on a 45-minute power walk around Cheesman Park.
I guess Flea will have to do instead of Bugs.
Then she did some weeding and yard clean up.
Then she hit her neighborhood pool for some sun and a 30-minute lap swim. She did conduct some business regarding the Big Thing while there, but somehow working in a bikini by a pool isn’t so bad.
Then she went for an allergy shot and finished one of the three New Yorker magazines she is behind on.
Then she met with the carpenter, who will be starting the Garage Conversion/Girls’ Clubhouse/The Chart House project next week.
Then she hit the nursery for some more flowers for the garden.
Followed by the grocery store, so that she could whip up this summer Corn, Avocado and Tomato salad for dinner:
Her kids watched her as she tooled around in the kitchen:
Then she mixed up this low-cal Margarita, made with good tequila, fresh lime juice, agave, and club soda:
Then she listened to the sweet voicemail message the Fin left her: “Hi Aunt Sis. I have diarrhea. I love you!”
Then she watched the new season of the Real Housewives of New York and decided that even the shallow Zadge couldn’t stomach watching any more of these awful, boring, annoying women.
Then she wondered why she hadn’t heard from Dr. Boy Toy, who was supposed to be flying back to Denver today and who had told her on their last date that they would see each other this weekend. And she got kind of annoyed. Then she thought about how he hadn’t even texted her all week to see how the Big Thing was going and she got even more annoyed. She thought about texting him and then decided she didn’t care enough.
Then she wrote this blog post.
Ah, it felt good to do nothing all day.

Those real housewives of New York have some real big bazooms. At times, in the dark of night, I fear they will kill me.
That salad looks amazing. What do you use for a dressing?
That sure seemed like a ton of stuff you got done for a do-nothing day, especially for battling a head cold too. And girlfriend rocking a bikini? Awesome! Poor Harry…Bugs will be sprung soon. Dr. Boy Toy, seems as if I need to go back and read some past posts.
Good thing Dr. Boy Toy is just a boy toy .
I concur with B., sounds like your day off was fulfilling enough without boy toy. Feel better!
Your “do nothing” day included more doing than my “I got a lot done” day!
Nice salad! Hope your cold goes away quickly. Got me beans, btw! I will keep you posted on muffin melting!
Hey, Sunday is Father’s Day, and I know you will be thinking about your Dad. I’ll be thinking about your heart – have a nice one with the sweet thoughts you posted last month.
Yum that salad looks DELICIOUS. Seriously. Yum.
Where I come from, doing nothing is the epitome of relaxation.
Hope you are feeling better. Yes, today is in honor of our dads who may no longer be on this earth physically, but who are definitely with us in our hearts and in our sweet memories.
I am the type of person who would be driven mad by a texting hiatus; kudos to you for shrugging it off.
I would leave you thoughtful phone messages like Fin, but leave out all the poopy stuff.
That salad looks delicious – recipe?? Your days sounds perfect!!
I am exhausted just reading about your day!
I NEED the recipe for the low cal margarita. I’m bad with drink ratios.
Please and thank you.
