Totally Relaxing Weekend

You'd be surprised what a 4-day weekend would do for you. It was completely awesome. I caught up on some much needed sleep and relaxation. And let me tell you, it was really nice to not have a care in the world. And, of course, any excuse I have to turn off my phones, is a good enough reason for me.

After working two 13 hour days last week, having a nice long weekend was just the cure I needed to get myself back into the swing of things. Most of the time, my long work hours don't really bother me...since I'm compensated fairly well, I enjoy the company of the people I work with...and to tell you the truth, I like what I do (for the most part). But last week was rip-my-hair-out crazy and up-to-my-eyeballs in work, so it was a little harder to keep myself zen. And as you know, I've been trying really hard to keep myself relaxed. I think I've been a doing a fairly good job of that too, by the way. But I digress.

As for today, ask me what I did today? Go ahead, I dare you. Well, I did abso-freakin'-lutely nothing. It was great. I spent some time watching some of my dvds, reading my magazines and then taking a nice long walk through the City. And since enough people have to work today, there was a nice blend of people on the streets without too many cranky work people getting in my way. Plus, it's always a great feeling to know that every other sucker is at work, while I'm enjoying my day off. So I'm extremely relaxed...so why haven't I done this before? Oh yeah, work...right.

Well tomorrow I return to work refreshed and ready to take on the endless piles of work that will inevitably be waiting for me. The thing that will probably keep me feeling relaxed is knowing that this is a 4-day work week and I get paid on Friday. Sweet!
