Today is my first entire day off since the first day of the month. Feels nice. Happened kind of by accident, and I now resolve to try to make it happen on purpose more often than twice a month.
Now, don't mistake me. I am not a workaholic, and we're not talking 12-hour days here. The kind of work I do doesn't put me at a desk for hours on end. For example, this week I worked 24 actual hours (not including transit time). Not bad, really, but I think we all know that even if you only work 3 hours in a day, it's not the same as having 24 full, unscheduled hours to yourself.
Here's what I did today:
Got up at 9 am, had coffee and oatmeal
Caught up on e-mails, myspace
Showered leisurely
Got a lovely pedicure
Had a nice lunch out (garlic sesame chicken bowl)
Grocery shopped for and made vegetable soup
And now I'm catching up on this here blog and watching football
Tonight our friend Will is coming over and we will watch more football and eat take-out from our favorite new find, a mediterranean/middle eastern/Armenian restaurant called Araz. I might also do some laundry, which I actually don't mind at all. I had notions of being a little more active, maybe going on a hike or something, but I have to say, I don't feel guilty at all.
