For the next five days I have no commitments, no place I have to be, I am looking forward to lazy afternoons filled with naps and a good book, sleeping in, eating good food, listening to music, enjoying the sunshine. Which got me to wonder how others on this forum spend a day enjoying themselves? What do you do? Or what would you do?

I LOVE the luxury of afternoon naps.
I also like a spot of pier fishing… just pondering and fishing. I also love puttering around in the garden… I find that to be relaxing.
I’m a sucker for a picnic…

When I am free from commitments I like to travel to new places, and be in contact with the nature, it’s very therapeutic… I always bring my camera with me and take many pictures. I also like reading, studying topics that interest me and doing art.
I like to do walk and watch TV
Eat good food
I exist from one day to the next. It’s a good question but one I struggle to answer.

I usually wake up, take meds and eat, wait for meds to kick in (they haven’t right now I feel like a potato with electrodes stuck in it) and then I end up reading psychology crap. That’s if I don’t have Krav Maga or lifting that day. Today I have Krav in four hours. I’m gonna eat something in a couple hours and drink two more shots of espresso.
Free time has been hard to come by this past semester. I end up being with my friends and or girlfriend these days. I’ve been hanging out with my old friends a lot lately and spending a lot of time with my girlfriend, she’s got a stomach bug right now though. Like last night I grilled out and played pool with a few old friends. My friends seem to really like me, they saw me become schizophrenic and recover.
That and my friends are all classmates from a prestigious school so we like being around other very bright individuals. Seriously, of all of my alumni from that class who I keep up with, we are all outstanding students and have bright futures, same thing with my family, we’re all educated and bright and it’s like a think tank of idleness when my old friends and I get together. We all have sharp wit and a sense of humor- we work ridiculously hard when we are not on vacation, which we are on now.
I enjoy challenging physical activity and the company of smart people. That’s a bit snobby but I tried and can’t relate to people who aren’t smart. There’s something about being around successful people that I crave. It’s probably the subtle understanding that we all know that we work hard and accomplish great things, yet we can goof off. Work hard, play hard.
People sometimes call me an elitist. I sort of am. I want to be around people who have their â– â– â– â– together because I need to keep my â– â– â– â– together.
Im enjoying it right now. My friend came over with some pot. She’s trying my clothes. I write ■■■■here. We’re probably go out after a few hits.
Hah we’re only 21. Who gives a ■■■■?

Lately I’ve been so stressed about money that I just worry away my days. but no more. Angie got a job today and so our troubles are over. Now to get my instruments out from under loans I took last month and I will be back to playing music on my guitar and banjo again. sheesh. my life.
Do you play the lottery where you are. I am playing tonight for $100 million, and the ticket only costs $2, I just can’t believe that they will just give that much money to someone possibly me then I would go to the earth quake and weather related destruction areas so that I could help build a place for those who have lost their homes because, if I didn’t have my own home I would feel like I lost my best friend It is my shelter and man castle…
I don’t do much. I get up take my meds at around 9 am. Take the dog out and feed her. Then I wake my lizards up at 10. If my mother in law lets me I do a couple of loads of laundry. Feed my lizards by noon. Then try to stay awake throughout the day.

Now that my this semester of college is over I wake up, eat breakfast and take my meds. I make sure to go on a bike ride for an hour or more around the city or the local trails around the area, usually for 6-10 miles. Once I finish the bike ride I feel that I have earned the right to relax, see what my friends or older brother are doing. Once night comes around I watch movies or tv shows until I fall asleep and take my meds. I’ve been repeating this routine for the past two weeks, things have been going pretty great so far.
It’s good weed …yes?..hhhhmm that sounds good. …excuse me for a bit while I get lit.
Either it was good or I got out of the game. Because I wasn’t able to go out after it. 
I wake up and call my mother. I watch tv and eat my peanut butter and banana sandwich. Then, I check my email and stuff. Sometimes, I do that before breakfast. Every other day, I take a good shower with mane n tail shampoo. Sometimes, I go out and run errands. I am working each day on getting my apartment back into shape. Usually, my most exciting moment of the day is when the mail comes between 1030am and 12noon.
Tomorrow, I want to drive up into the mountains; about 30 miles to see a state park and maybe a museum. My mother is all upset at me about it and unfortunately I have gotten angry with her. It is the same old story about money. She has this unreasonable, obsessive fear about my running totally out of money and begging her for money. She says I have no money and I spend too much. She is bordering on some sort of sickness. She makes my stomach and head hurt. She really wants to imprison me and I want let her. I have been planning to go to the mountains since I moved here. It was one of the reasons I moved. She knew that! I am going anyway. I just want to connect my mountain heritage. I just want to be me. She can’t control me. I want be controlled. She considers me “belligerent!” I am a grown woman now! I have even traveled across the US with just my cat in a little red pick-up truck-alone! I decided not to go get a peanut butter shake at Dairy Queen so I could save my money for this short trip. It is not even an hour away. I love my mother; but, I sincerely believe something is seriously wrong with her. And, I am the one who goes to therapy once a month. Oh, God, help me. I hate to lose my temper; but, a girl has gotta do what a girl has gotta to do! I refuse to be locked up ever!
Couchlock?..yeah I suffer from the same after good indica.
I try my best to avoid doing the dishes.

O I like this topic. so I get my 12 hours a sleep I wake up and drink some milk then sit in my living room area and I let my mind ramble for an 1 in half or so sometimes I play games tell about 3pm then I start drinking water an hour later I start my asana practice and after I take a shower then its after 6pm 15-20 minutes of thoughts about dinner and I cook something so about 7:30 I relax and read things on computer or iam on this fourm I mix it up so its not always the same for the evenings. I like to do amateur astronomy around 9pm-12 pm if its not cloudy. but ya that’s mostly what I like to do in my day thank you for the topic.
Do you always sleep 12 hours a day or only while you’re depressed? That’s a lot of sleep!
12 hours of wonderful sleep, when I wake up I feel like iam ready to go for the day 8 hours of sleep isn’t enuff I feel tired, nauseous from my medical condition so is why I sleep longer. And yes sometimes I sleep like 14 hours or longer I don’t feel depressed. Yes its more sleep then anyone I know but it works for me and that’s why I do it. Have a wonderful day Polar Bear!
