To feel like shit for being a Sunday failure

67 replies

munkynutts · 26/11/2017 21:07

I was supposed to:
Clean the house
Do yoga
"Work out"
Make a carrot soup
Play some guitar
"Write" some of my "novel"
Book some stuff
Play with cats
Cut and paint my nails
Deep condition my hair
Read

Instead you kbow what I did?
Fucking sat here all day reading AIBU threads and WhatsApping my sister.

I didnt even have the motivation to make cupcake batter to eat raw, let alone bake them.

Now I feel like a Sunday failure and an addict.

Does anyone feel the same?

Also, should I write today off or try and make some lame attempt at something on the list?

I woke up early, but haven't managed to shower or get dressed. Made eggs and coffee for breakfast and a very quick dinner (not the more fancy one I'd planned that would have leftovers for our dinner tomorrow).

Have done minimal work for tomorrow (am teacher). Have prepared lunch for DP and breakfast for me for tomorrow. Have done lots of WhatsApping. Have made the bed. Have found a place to have brunch for my birthday, and looked up where my friend's birthday party is this Friday.

Still need to shower and do the laundry (waited for the cheaper time on the electricity).

So, yeah, OP, don't feel bad, I'm far behind in my chores too. And my laziness today means I won't be able to fall asleep until the small hours.

Grin hold Off the weight lifting too a while too Grin

This year I have used my leaves as a kind of bark chipping cover to prevent weeds - I think I am onto something here !!

I haven't done anything really apart from cook some food. DD and me didn't get out of bed until gone midday (we had coffee and croissants in bed). We then had lunch (no cooking just fruit and leftovers from the fridge), her friend came over for a bit so they could play the guitar together and then friend went home and we ate food (which I cooked) and watched a film together and had a little cry because happy ending. Surely Sundays are for not doing stuff? That's the whole point of them in my book!

Turquoisetamborine · 26/11/2017 22:39

You aren’t a failure. I always remember what my reflexologist said to me when I was having IVF, she told me if an animal needs to rest and sleep that’s exactly what it does and so should we. I feel no guilt now!

Hebenon · 26/11/2017 22:39

Also, hope you have a good recovery, Billy. Google will tell you all the bits you have forgotten, I hope.

I planned to get up before ten am

Make a fry up

Watch several episodes of criminal minds

Make risotto

Play Risk with the kids and DH

Watch more tv until bedtime.

I have achieved it all. I am a Sunday over achiever 😇

I learned a long time ago to keep my bar very low...

gingergenius · 26/11/2017 22:46

I'm on a 'introduction to CBT' group. Part 2 of dealing with depression/anxiety part 1 is drugs

My tasks for today were 'brush hair' and 'clean bathroom.'

Aced them...

Honestly your list would cause me major anxiety at the moment.

did you survive the day? Woohoo success! High 5s all round!

BestZebbie · 26/11/2017 22:55

munkynutts - I think YABU because your list was pretty much my To Do list to cover the whole of my 20s, not just one day. :-)

ForagingForFaerieGold · 26/11/2017 22:55

My list was:
Roll out of bed around 11
Watch downloads of Law and Order
Make little Christmas trees for my mini Santa "diorama"
Eat continually from the fridge.
Have a nap
MN/FB and eBay.

In no particular order aside from 1.
I managed it all lol

BillyDaveysDaughter I had my gallbladder out on the 10th and was told to leave the dressings on until I went to doctors to have stitches out.

Beeziekn33ze · 26/11/2017 23:05

Oh yes!
I was going to:
Tidy garden
Vacuum everywhere
Wash kitchen, bathroom, loo floors
Wrap the 3 or 4 presents already bought
Tidy books, papers on every flat surface
Get bags of clothes ready for charity shop
Phone friends

I've been online, begun to read 2 books, reheated chilli, baked potatoes.
I've not yet had more than 7.5 SW Syns but there's still time...
I've watched Howard's End and still marvel at its clunkiness and cardboard characters. Must stop watching. Maybe read the book instead, or just start reading it...

Another Big Fat Sunday Failure!!

bathghter · 27/11/2017 00:17
