You can argue that everyday for this Retired Old Man is a lazy day, and you'd probably be right. But I usually have at least one little chore that I've set myself, and my alternating schedule of walking hikes and sitting meditation takes anywhere from 1½ to 4 hours. So I'm not exactly busy, but I'm not totally idle either.
But today, I decided to do nothing. Jack shit, nothing. All summer, I found brief interludes in the rain when I could get my steps in, but today I didn't even try. Probably wouldn't have worked anyway. I could have switched up my alternating routine and sat zazen today even though I did just yesterday and then walk tomorrow, but that didn't happen. I vegged out, made my morning coffee ritual an approximately four-hour affair, played hours and hours of video games while listening to music, and then fell into the evening.
Nothing wrong with a day of slack. The forecast shows the rain going away by noon tomorrow, and I'll get back to walking then.
