What are the "rules" when it comes to Saturday and Sunday afternoons? Is there a certain code or something I have to follow with regard to moving/activities? My preference is really to sit around and do nothinh; to relax.
When I was a kid, I was made to do stuff on the weekends. And I'm not talking about the standard, "grill, its nice outside. You should go outside and play" shtick. I like doing outdoor activities. I'm outdoors-ish. When I lived in LA, I used to get up early every Saturday morning to drive 20 minutes across the city to play basketball with 20 other semi-coordinated dudes. I miss that I can't do that anymore. I'm talking about on crappy or even semi-crappy days. Why do I need to do anything? Can't I just be...lazy?
Right now, I'm single, I don't have kids...when I don't have work on the weekends, shouldn't I be allowed to be some kind of blob (gelatinous or any other kind)? Once I have gf/wife/kids, it won't be my choice or my time anymore. I probably won't even want it to be or think this way (most of the time, at least). But for now, can't I spend the day semi-comatose, watching crappy 80's movies on TNT/USA/Bravo/HBO? At least, can't I do so without people trying to make me feel guilty?
I'm at the point where I usually have work to do on Sundays anyway, so I spend most of that day at the local coffeeshop/bakery reading...particularly with football coming to an end. So that pretty much leaves me Saturday. And since Friday is usually the only night of the week I go out with any viguor, half of Saturday is already lost to sleep.
I guess I just want someone to tell me that relaxing is ok or that being a vegetable on the couch is ok or that sleeping through an entire weekend afternoon is ok. Ok?
