When was the last time you spent a day, doing nothing? Doing nothing? I like to think of it as being on Energy Saver mode.

Energizer Bunny Mode.
Delete1. Unless doing nothing is defined, I would say never.
ReplyDelete2. It has been so long since I've been in a museum, I can't remember the last one.
3. I don't nap in the afternoon. I sleep better at night without a nap.
4. An English murder mystery, but I haven't picked it up for a while, so perhaps it is not grabbing me. I have a book on my Kindle that I am looking forward to reading.
5. I don't think I intentionally ever waste time. With hindsight at times, I can say, that was a waste of time.
I have to limit the naps so that I sleep better.
Delete1: When was the last time you spent a day, doing nothing? I have some idles days but never an entire day doing nothing.
ReplyDelete2: What was the last museum you wandered through? A couple weeks ago.
3: When was your last afternoon nap, planned or unplanned? Friday
4: What are you reading, just because you want to read it? SG’s autobiography
5: How do you feel about wasting time? I can be hard on myself but, really, who says the time is wasted?
Our time is ours, to do with as the chose.
Delete1. It probably was last summer on vacation where I had nothing to do. By choice.
ReplyDelete2. Cleveland Museum of Art. World renowned.
3. Yesterday. I'm not sure I slept much, but I laid in bed.
4. Right now the 'Lincoln Highway'.
5. Depends on the situation I would expect.
That is a great museum
Delete1. It depends what you mean by "nothing." Unless you're in a catatonic state, you're always doing "something."
ReplyDelete2. I went to a local small art gallery about a month ago to take in their members' show.
3. I used to nap quite regularly in late afternoon, but now I drink a cup of coffee instead.
4. I'm in the midst of reading what's called an #mpreg fanfic. That's where certain gay male characters can get pregnant and give birth. Captain America just woke up from the Arctic ice 3 months ago and discovered he's 4 months pregnant. Bucky is the Baby Daddy but he's dead now. Or is he? Cue the Winter Soldier. They're both in for a big shock.
5. We all need to waste time creatively and productively, LOL!
Sounds like lots of plot twists.
DeleteHey David, glad to see you participating in Nicole's "Sunday in the Art Room" today!
Delete1: When was the last time you spent a day, doing nothing? I don't think of it as nothing. A cold cold Saturday before Christmas, I made a pot of Wassail and read a book all day.
ReplyDelete2: What was the last museum you wandered through? We had visitors passing through and took them to the Camden Archives and Museum. There is quite a bit of history in our little town.
3: When was your last afternoon nap, planned or unplanned? I don't usually nap, but Carlos did give me a nasty cold for Christmas, so I did pass out in an easy chair for a couple of hours!
4: What are you reading, just because you want to read it? Last week I picked Openly Bob from our office bookshelf. It's stories for out comedian Bob Smith and it's quite funny.
5: How do you feel about wasting time? I don't have a problem with it; sometimes time needs to be wasted.
A couple of times a year, I simply stay in bed all day.
DeleteI used to do that too when I was in the workforce. I called them my "crash and burn" days.
DeleteBecause of the Flu, I have barely been out of bed for 2 weeks. Napping, doing nothing but coughing has been all I can manage since 12/28.
ReplyDeleteI mostly read mysteries and detective stores but last week I had no books to read and was too sick to go to the library and so re-read an old favorite, Charlotte's Web, which was very sweet and quite enjoyable.
I'm not wasting time, I'm fighting off germs right now.
Rest deeply and get well.
Delete1: When was the last time you spent a day, doing nothing? I don't know what "doing nothing" means. Even when you are just sitting thinking or remembering you are doing something.
ReplyDelete2: What was the last museum you wandered through? Goole Museum in the town of Goole just before Christmas but it's not a very big museum.
3: When was your last afternoon nap, planned or unplanned? When I was a baby.
4: What are you reading, just because you want to read it? Last night I finished reading "No Way But Gentlenesse" by Richard Hines and that was very much a personal choice. What's next? I am not sure yet. Perhaps I will read another classical English novel.
5: How do you feel about wasting time? I feel very good about it. You can call it "wasting time" but it might be described as "rest and relaxation" or "downtime" or "recharging your batteries". It's not something you should beat yourself up about. In fact I think it is eminently healthy.
I am so glad I have discovered the joys of an afternoon nap.
Delete1: When was the last time you spent a day, doing nothing? I spent most of Friday doing nothing but I do admit it wasn't all day.
ReplyDelete2: What was the last museum you wandered through? I think the last one was the Phoenix Art Museum but I go pretty often to a variety of museums around town.
3: When was your last afternoon nap, planned or unplanned? Just yesterday. The eyelids were getting heavy so I took about a 45 minute nap.
4: What are you reading, just because you want to read it? I've been checking out several recipes. I've had the urge to bake. Our temps finally dropped down to normal winter temps and that always gets me wanting to cook.
5: How do you feel about wasting time? I'm all for it!
P.S. your photo looks like it was taken at the Hirshhorn.
It is nice to be able to sleep when we just feel like it. And Yes, the Hirshorn.
Delete1: When was the last time you spent a day, doing nothing? I don't remember.
ReplyDelete2: What was the last museum you wandered through? The Crown Jewels in the Tower of London.
3: When was your last afternoon nap, planned or unplanned? I don't remember. I typically don't take daytime naps.
4: What are you reading, just because you want to read it? A book called North by Brad Kessler. It was a Dayton Literary Peace Prize finalist.
5: How do you feel about wasting time? Do it, enjoy it, and don't beat yourself up for doing it.
It is nice being in charge of our time, and doing what we want.
