Lazy Guilt

I wanted to post on here either every day or every other day. On Thursday I had an audition in Tampa and did a video about the experience instead of actually writing about it. I posted it to YouTube and on here if you haven't seen it yet. But because of my long day Thursday I knew my mind would tell me to just take it easy Friday. And I was really tempted to. And in a weird way I kind of did?
So, I still walked after dropping my daughter, Serenity (Seri), off at the bus stop. And then went grocery/hurricane shopping. When I got home I grabbed a slimfast, banana and sat down for a late breakfast. I decided to see what was on Netflix and you know what aired yesterday? The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance. I knew my day was screwed. But it kind of wasn't? I watched a couple episodes, then did Tae Bo for 30 minutes. Watched some more Dark Crystal, then did laundry and folded watching it. Then washed the dogs, got dinner and watched some more. Even did some arm workouts while watching it. I did all my daily chores and extra and still watched the whole season in one day.
I should feel accomplished. But I feel like a lazy bum. Why? Maybe because the world we live in prizes constant work with no down time. That we're made to feel bad for taking the time to enjoy little luxuries, time to not have to worry and think about surviving. I did a lot yesterday but still feel like I have no life because I was able to watch a TV show as well. My muscles are sore from the workouts I did yesterday. I have clean sheets and we're all prepared for Hurricane Dorian (if we actually get hit). But I feel guilty for watching that show.
Well, you know what? Screw that. I work my ass off to be able to enjoy fun things. I make sure everything I need to get done gets done. Why is it a big deal if I take the time through the day to enjoy something and not be productive for an hour here and there? You know what I've been doing today? Watching Glow. That's it. Other than running out to Taco Bell to pick up dinner cause I just wasn't feeling like making something for once. I was legit lazy today. Cause I'm allowed to have my days. And so are you.
