do you ever have guilt over doing nothing?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

i have been home sick for 2 days but havent cleaned or done anything much.

i kinda feel like i really wasted some time.


sigh.

1. You haven't been doing nothing

you've been getting better

don't be so hard on yourself.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. thanks!

:hi:

[malta blue]

2. If you are sick, there is

no point in wearing yourself out by cleaning or hauling laundry around, now is there?

Take care of yourself Lioness!

3. i know ...its just that i am so busy with school and work that i feel 2 days off from work

could have been better utilized

i have become such a new yorker

[malta blue]

5. don't sweat in Lioness...

and yes, you are a true new yorker...

I feel that way too, and then I always end up wearing myself out. Just do some school reading (I'm sure that will help you sleep) and take good care.

:hug:

6. I used to.

I used to be a total workaholic. I always had to be doing something.

Health issues can kill that impulse eventually. If you need to relax and recover then that's the best thing to do. Really. :hug:

8. hey can i ask you an opinion on shopping?

so lisa and i have realized that we are not moving till may 09 so i want to invest some money in my kitchen...its a typical tiny ny apt so can i show you some things i want online and do you want to give me an opinion?

[ThomCat]

9. Shopping? Twist my arm!

:P

I've been in your apartment, and I remember the layout of your kitchen, so I can definitely offer an intelligent opinion. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. ok so do you remember how lisa has the bookcase next to the stove?

i want to replace that with a kitchen island, ceiling pot holder and a spice rack. these are the pics


however i dont know which celing pot holder would look better...a straight line or a round one. so i put both images up

[ThomCat]

17. I definitely like the grid pot holder

instead of the bar pot holder. You can nest your pots together and keep more of them up out of the way. And using it as an extra shelf doesn't hurt either.

Are you sure you want to go with Black in your kitchen?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. i dont like the color of wood. would white be better?

all the wood in the house is lisa's furniture. i am a very metal/glass person.

[ThomCat]

20. I'm sure you can find a similar cabinet in

a modern chrome/frosted glass that would look really awesome. If you like metal and glass go for it. That would also keep your kitchen looking bright and open. Dark colors would make the room look smaller.

If wood is all that's practical or available then I would suggest white.

My taste is more like Lisa's. I like wood.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. thanks thom. yeah i love metals: iron, steel, copper, chrome colors

i really dont like woods especially dark woods. ironically in india i own a lot of teak and mahogany.

7. You were recovering. That's what you were doing.

The apartment is not going to crumble because you didn't clean for a few days. (Trust me on that one. I know first hand.)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. thanks you guys. i can always count on my du friends to deliver me from my own neuroses

[IndianaJones]

11. I feel guilty that I haven't had dinner with questionable females. nt.

[1gobluedem]

12. Yes

When I was recovering from my burns I felt horribly guilty sitting around knowing there was so much to do in the yard and in the house. Even though I knew I wasn't supposed to be doing anything. The mind is a funny thing; don't be hard on yourself.

[Capn Sunshine]

13. Right this minute

I'm supposed to be trading for my accounts but I took a step back , there's just too much craziness there today. Hence, the lounge. Ahhhhhhhh.......

[redqueen]

14. But you were sick!

You're supposed to rest when you're sick. You've been resting and recuperating. :hug:

[alarimer]

16. Yes but that's because I basically always do nothing

I must be the world's laziest human. I am on year 7 (7!) of a graduate degree. And it is ONLY because I have procrastinated to the nth degree. I have plenty of free time but instead of working on it (with the exception of actual course work- that I actually got done in time) I hang out on the couch, do any number of other things.

I rarely do dishes or vacuum. Only when it finally gets even to me.

[raccoon]

19. Doing nothing is underrated in our culture.

I think, in moderation, it's a good thing. :-)

And yes, I too have guilt about it at times.

[Bucky]

21. Because the topic lines are underlined, I thought you were asking about quilts.

I can't tell you how odd it seemed as I sat there trying to figure out what you meant by "Have you ever had quilt over doing nothing?"

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. bucky you are a funny funny person
