My day, all mine!
Posted 18th March 2008 by Florinda Pendley Vasquez, tagged day to yourself
I actually have a couple of "me days" coming up soon - at the end of next week, as it happens. It's not always possible due to the scheduling of certain things at my job - namely, our annual financial audit - but whenever I can, I don't go to work on my birthday. This year, my birthday is on a Saturday, so - no, I'm not going to work. But I'm not going to be cheated out of a day off, either, so I'm actually taking a long weekend - vacation days on the Friday before and the Monday after. I'll have about half of Friday and all of Monday on my own. These are some of the things I'm thinking about doing with that time:
- Housecleaning on Friday morning. Don't laugh - you know it's much easier to get that done when no one else is home, and I want to get it out of the way early.
- Taking myself out to Starbucks for coffee, and bring my book with me for some quiet reading time.
- Writing - I try to get ahead on posts for my blog, and this will be a good opportunity. Perhaps I'll work on an article for Work It, Mom! while I'm at it.
- Recreational shopping! I gave up buying books for Lent, and the moratorium ends this Sunday, so I see a nice bookstore browse in my future. Chances are pretty good that I'll stop by a few of my favorite clothing stores too. Depending where I end up, there might be some other stops as well...it depends on what's around.
- I already have an appointment for a facial that weekend, but I may see if I can schedule my first spring pedicure at the spa too.
- More reading.
