The anticipation of having a day off, resulting in a long weekend....which is a precious commodity these days for me, is both exciting and worrisome. Unlike many people right now, I have not had to stay home during the pandemic. My work has kept be going and I know how lucky I have been to be getting out of the house every day. So, some people might roll their eyes at me for the thought of looking forward to being home for 3 whole days in a row, but ah, well. I'm still looking forward to it!
I am excited because I am looking forward to relaxing. I think it's good to be able to walk away from the workplace for awhile and just rejuvenate. Somehow, I think the pandemic has made it easier for people to burn out easier and I don't want to do that. Somedays, that's a very fine line to stay on one side of! Anyway, I am looking forward to a work responsible free day!
On the other hand, though, I don't want to waste my day by sitting around like a slug. I know that some people will say that's what a day off is for. And it's one of those things that I may enjoy in the moment, but I will feel really guilty about when I look back on it. I need to try and accomplish something during that time. And make it something that I wouldn't normally get done on a regular day off. A project. I guess I need a project. Or something like that LOL
Either way, I will figure something out. I may treat myself to a shopping trip to the Dollar Tree, which I actually do enjoy going to. They have some great things if you know what you're looking for. I'd also thought about going out to the antiques mall early when it won't be crowded. After all, this month marks one year without a cigarette and I should treat myself to something. We shall see. Still, I am happy for a day off and having a long weekend for a change. Let's just hope I don't waste it completely. Wish me luck!
