Taking A Day Off

I went on strike today. Some of my edits came back Tuesday, which made me feel all bad about myself. LOL. So, after barreling through them yesterday, I was pretty burned out. Newbie author syndrome.
As a result, I stayed away from my own writing today. I chatted online with a couple of authors and that was the closest I got to "work" today. What else did I do? Well, laundry of course (neverending) and then I did something unusual. I watched a movie.
*gasp* What? You took two hours and sat on your butt watching a movie?
Yes, you heard me. The TV is NOT my friend usually (well, except for Cartoon Network, which keeps my kids from killing each other.). I watched "You've Got Mail" which I haven't seen in a long time.
This is a joke (that's sort of funny.....but kind of not) between Michelle and I. She and I don't agree on movies. If she likes it, I'll hate it and vice-versa. The only movies we could agree on were Meg Ryan movies. "When Harry Met Sally", "French Kiss", "Addicted To Love" "Sleepless In Seattle" and "You've Got Mail". Two years ago, she bought them all for me for Christmas. We planned on having a "love fest" one night with just the girls.
"You've Got Mail" was still in the plastic wrapping when I watched it today.
Since then, we've found common ground on a lot of things. Monty Python, "Office Space", "In And Out." are all movies we can enjoy together.
She even sat through "Pride and Prejudice" with Colin Firth with me. (THAT'S a best friend. She was even gracious about it.)
So, what do you do when you do nothing? (There's a nightmare sentence for an editor.)
