the art of doing nothing

I work from Monday to Friday, 8 to 5. I come home for lunch, an hour a day and I have two days off. The weekend, that is.

I usually don't plan anything for the weekend. As I said, the art of doing nothing. And I love it!

I have no social life to speak of, as I am a single mother. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. As soon as I get home, I never leave. I have no desire to go out, get a drink or two even to go to the movies, etc. I am my son's slave from 5:15 pm till bedtime.

So the weekend is our bonding time. At his tender age, he wants always watch his DVDs so we lie in bed, him absorbed in his movie and me on my computer or reading a book. We separate only when he takes his nap. Well, he loves going to the mall and I indulge him once a week. That is the extent of my doing something. Other than that, I am mastering the art of doing nothing every weekend.
