And the little voice in the back of my head that keeps telling me I should be working on the next book, or polishing my drawer novel, or working on promo for In a Fix instead ... well, today I'm telling it to stifle.
The creativity batteries are officially in recharge mode!
No chores, either! No laundry, no housework, no yard work. (Ha! Like I ever do yard work anyway, other than pull a stray weed or two, and occasionally turn on the sprinkler to water the tomatoes. But still.)
(It's possible I may go to the liquor store. We're low on bourbon and gin, and cocktail hour later may be lacking a certain oomph without either a Manhattan or a martini. We'll see. TG may just have to stop for supplies on his way home from work.)
So, what's the perfect image for the lazy Hump Day I'm planning? Why, a camel back sofa! Sadly, this one isn't mine, but I can imagine myself lounging on it, with a good book, and maybe some bonbons.

Not cute enough for you? *sigh* How about this:

Okay, technically that's not a camel. It's an alpaca. But alpacas are camelids, which are what you might call camel cousins. So close enough. And very cute, yes?
Happy Hump Day! May yours be as productive -- or non-productive -- as you want it to be. :)

Ah reading! By the pool, tanning, sipping a long tall drink of something sweet. I wish. Today I'm cleaning the carpets at the old house. Fun stuff. Yay.
Have a great "nothing" day, Linda. You totally deserve it.
Sounds like you've earned a break, but I dunno. An alpaca? Yeah, sure, it's a "cousin", but apes are kinda our "cousins", too. Doesn't mean I want a picture of a chimp on my driver's license. (Then again, it might be an improvement...) Okay, so we'll muddle through our hump day without a real camel. Just this once. Enjoy your day of leisure.
Enjoy your day to recharge, Linda! And OF COURSE a trip to the liquor store is happening. A martini is essential for recharging.
Linda G - I love recharge days! Enjoy yours :)
You've earned it, enjoy!!! I actually WANT an alpaca. I petted a baby one recently and was smitten! Mr. Lemmony on the other hand...not so much. ;)
i have to say, you're pretty creative on days when you're recharging... a camel back sofa? clever! enjoy this day off. you've definitely earned it.
Happy recharging! (Love the camelback sofa.)
Great plan! I love losing myself in a book I love.
I don't know about the sofa, but I'll pay a camelid
Wait a second! What's going on around here? Sofa's and alpacas?! What's the world coming to?
Enjoy your reading, I guess. Pssh. (And, uh, I'll take the gin.)
Well my little county will remain dry as of the vote on Tuesday BUT the liquor store will be 20 minutes away in a closer county that went wet. No more hour drives for a six pack of beer.
Remember on your day off - fun is your bitch! (quoting Erin McCarthy)
Everyone needs a day like this, and we can still call reading "work," (if you want to be official). No guilt involved! Enjoy:)
If you feel like posting a "cousin" on your no-guilt day, you go for it, sweetie. I think he's cute.
I thought that was a Llama. I've never heard of a alpaca. Well, I learned something new today. Thanks!
