I might have had the laziest vacation in my entire life over the last two weeks. I had no plans other than visiting family here and there, but for the most part, my days proceeded according to the following schedule: -Wake up around 5 AM because my cat never shuts the fuck up when hes hungry, feed him, then pass back out around 5:30 until 9:30 or so. -Make a cup of coffee and screw around on my iPad, looking at reddit, TiB, news sites, etc. for about a half hour. -Then I would sit down at my work computer and scan my emails to make sure nothing was blowing up while I was out. -Have another cup of coffee and play a little PS4 for an hour or so. -Around noon Ill start getting hungry so Ill either make myself something or go grab a breakfast sandwich. -After food Ill pass out on the couch for a nap. -Wake up around 2 and maybe go to the gym for a bit, but if not, more PS4. -At some point Ill declare to the cat that I am going to do something productive with the rest of the day, but I ended up just watching something on Netflix while drifting in and out of consciousness. -Around 5PM, my type-A personality wife will start going stir crazy and lament that we havent done anything with our day. Ill nod my head agreeably and go sit down at my computer to play some Dota 2 or CSGO. -Wife and I will eat some dinner then I would text my friends about evening plans. -During the night Ill either go out with some friends and have a low key evening or getting blind drunk. -Go to sleep, rinse, repeat.

Yesterday the wife and I got up around 9:30 and played card games and watched episodes of Babylon 5 all day. We did exit the house to get lunch. That's about it. It was glorious.
Yesterday was fantastic. Anytime I get a day to truly do nothing, I love doing work outside. The toddler woke us up around 8:00, wife entertained him while I went to tractor supply for some cold weather washer fluid and spray on water proofing spray. Then drove around the property and got about 800 lbs of fallen trees in the bed of the truck. Cut them up with the new gas chainsaw into 8-10 inch sections, then split and processed about half of that into firewood. Got my sister's xmas tree out, cut it up and burned it off in the bit. Cigars and non-alcoholic beer throughout. After that, got in some target practice with a few of my handguns and the AR. Went inside around 7:00, played with the kid, chili pie for dinner and fell to sleep watching something about wikileaks.
More often than not I will be at my workbench from dawn to dusk if I have a full day without plans but if I am determined to be lazy, which is very rare, here we go: -Try to sleep past 8:00 -Put on fleece pajamas in winter and cutoff T-shirt/gym shorts in summer -Drink coffee with Bailey's -Make brunch, always starting with bacon in the pan -Clean/mess around in the basement 'til noon -Afternoon sex (either solo or with girlfriend) and lay in bed for a few hours -Eat leftovers, drink beer, and watch Netflix with my girlfriend and dog on the couch 'til I slowly fall asleep
A lazy day for me is getting up whenever. I let the dog out around 7 to play outside and go back to sleep until about 9. Check my email and then head to Mom's Country Kitchen for the most amazing breakfast burrito ever. With a piece of fresh cornbread and honey butter. Return home and watch tv or play Xbox. I will think about dinner and probably go to the grocery store for a large piece of cow to slow cook. Yesterday was a 4 pound brisket point that I turned into beef carnitas. Start cooking that and take a nap. Wake up and find something for lunch. Yesterday, lunch was nothing because I was still full from breakfast and I knew our friends were coming over relatively early for carnitas and mole. So I played GTA5 for a couple of hours and bathed in the smell of the carnitas.
If we are going for true laziness, I binge watch a show on Netflix, order pizza and don't shower. However, my ideal lazy day goes more like this- Make coffee in the french press and enjoy the first cup straight, cut the next with bourbon. Mix up a bloody mary extra spicy to enjoy while I make breakfast. Blast whatever music I am currently into really loudly and dance while making breakfast. Take a nap until the NFL starts. Wake up and prepare a charcuterie plate with various cheeses and cured meats from the fancy grocery store. Eat cheese plate and watch football while drinking craft beer from the cellar. Make tasting notes, and compare to those online. Eventually get sloshed and stumble to the gas station in my sweat pants to buy a pack of marlboro reds and lighter. I then enjoy about two of these before it hits me that my wife would kill me if she caught me with them, and that you quit for a reason. Throw said stuff away. Play SNES games while drinking Manhattans until I get the spins and pass out. I get about two of those per year. The only way my day could be better is if I had a hot tub to relax in between the 4pm games and the late game.
I dont have a set schedule, there is either a lot of watching sports or binging whatever TV series I am watching. During Christmas week it was Luther. Last week it was Undateable. If its a weekday, I'll wake up and trade/watch the market while watching TV or movies. If not, sometimes I'll get ambitious and watch movies or TV on my computer while playing video games on the TV, crazy I know. I was MASSIVELY lazy on New Years Day into the 2nd. How lazy? I decided to go to the gym on Saturday afternoon knowing I had a date that night and wanted to get the juices flowing...and I took a shower BEFORE going to the gym cause I was disgusted with myself and my natural odors after a sweaty NYE and subsequent dwelling in my filth after.
I have kids, so it depends. On a lazy day with the kids, I still have to make sure they don't kill themselves or each other, and I can't watch what I want on tv mostly due to it being inappropriate for them. That said, I won't get out of my pajamas or leave the house, and most of the day is playing with the kids or, if they're napping, binge watching shows on netflix. I'll even watch shows on my phone while the kids play, so there is that. Now, if the kids are gone at the sitters and we get the house? I'll wake up late (around 10), video games, eat, binge Netflix, eat, nap, video games, eat, binge, sleep. It would be tremendous. It will also never happen again.
