What do you do...

...if there is just nothing to do? No work, nothing on the usually never-ending to-do list?
...and maybe if there is nothing really you can do? Because you have no Internet and Telephone and there is nothing on TV?
That captures my yesterday. But I took advantage and indulged in some me time. Something you should really do more often!
I read a book in my sweats on the couch drinking a cup of hot green tea. Then I went to bed early and got some extra hours of sleep. - Pure bliss.



I finished "The Time Traveler`s Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger yesterday. I think the book was great overall. The story was well thought through and I liked how she never forgot to take all of the little things back up later in the story.
The only thing, that a lot of readers criticized about this book was, that a lot of the characters were kind of poorly characterized. They didn`t seem to have deeper personalities. Also, I started messing up names and characters because they were all just very similar, everyone spoke the same way. Only two people were different - (one of them being Kimy) and those seemed a little too stereotype.
But, besides that, the book was very well written, easy to understand and logical even though the story is in fact weird. I usually don`t tend to read any Sci-Fi but liked this book a lot and read through it in only a few days.

So, what do you do, when you have a time off? And if you read "The Time Traveler`s Wife" what did you think about it?
