Mulligan is that great golf term, used when a shot is not counted against the score. It is permitted in unofficial play to a player whose previous shot was poor. Like a do-over.
Well I would like a Mulligan of my last two days off. There is so much nothing to do, two days just isn’t long enough to do it all. I have accomplished as little as humanly possible without actually forgetting to breathe. And thus procrastination has been taken to a whole new level, because I don’t even know what things I should be doing that I am so determinedly avoiding.
There was some vague plan in my head to play so much Candy Crush that I would get sick of it and stop for a while. So far, this has not worked.
I played around on an Instagram app and made these two collaborative pictures.
I drank a lot of coffee. I did some grocery shopping. I read some books. I slept late and went to bed early. I read every single inspirational thing on Facebook. And some things that were not at all stimulating or helpful or moving but I read them anyway. Because they were there.
Eventually I sat down and wrote this post about it all. I don’t know about you, but I am now completely worn out and done reliving it and ready for bed. Never mind the Mulligan – I would probably do the same non-things all over again anyway.
I have the expertise, if anyone needs guidance on whiling away time and goofing off. If you forget to call, I’ll understand.
I really like your image. It’s energy is great, the colors resonate and it really pulls you in. Well done, Barbara

Sounds a lot like how I spend my days off, only I find plenty of ways to waste time without Facebook and its digital crack….

We all have Mulligan days, Gran and whether we deserve them or not we need them and that’s the most important thing to remember. I usually have one or two at the end of each term break, which is when my granddaughters go home.
