| Putzing |
| Intr.v. putzed, putz.ing, putz.es Slang To behave in an idle manner; putter.
After two weeks straight of working 14 hour days, and having house guests on top of that, I have this weekend OFF. Completely and totally OFF. OFF as in no plans, no demands other than what I choose to do, and since I have very little disposable $$$ this month after the vacation in AZ, and a lot of traveling, family gifts, and friends visiting in June, I can't really afford to do anything extravagant anyway. I literally cannot remember the last time I had four days off all to myself with no guests and no travel (other than being sick - no fun there). Heaven.
So yesterday, after I slept in past 8:00 (completely decadent), I putzed. REALLY putzed. I started a new book (see sidebar, Chris Moore's latest, A Dirty Job - laugh out loud funny), took a nap, enjoyed the weather out on the deck, drank ice tea, and putzed some more. And after burning a duck breast for dinner on the grill, when I was really good and putzed out, I had a glass of wine and went to bed early to read some more.
Today, I have accomplished.....more putzing. And good coffee, and the Sunday NYT, and most of the crossword puzzle (Sunday is obscenely hard). Now, I am putzing again, but will shower, take myself out to brunch, get some groceries, and plant pots and pots of flowers and work in the yard. Tonight, I will grill fish tacos with mango and black bean salsa and watch a movie of my choosing.
Tomorrow: more putzing, and some cleaning of the storage room and touching up some paint around the house.
Tuesday?: Lather, putz, repeat. |

Weird. I've done basically the same thing, to include blowing off all social obligations. Hell, I may even blow off work tomorrow.
