I didn’t go to work yesterday.<\/p>\n
No, I didn’t just NOT show up. I took it off a week ago, anticipating that I might need a break. (And oh, did I need it, people. This was a moment of inspiration before disaster truly struck. I couldn’t have been more grateful that I had foresight to take that day off…)<\/p>\n
A lot of people asked me if I had any plans for my day off.<\/p>\n
The beauty of it all was no, I didn’t. If yesterday had a theme song, it would be Bruno Mars’s “The Lazy Song”. Absolutely yes.<\/p>\n
Now, to be clear, I did do a few responsible things. I made meals (breakfasts, lunches, and dinners). I did a deep clean of the kitchen, unloaded the dishwasher and ran it. (Twice, actually. Dishes got a little backed up due to some of the craziness of work which will not be mentioned in this post or on this blog.) I did lots of laundry, which included changing the sheets on our beds to our “cooler weather” sheets (the high for today didn’t get past eighty-five. THAT IS TWENTY DEGREES LESS THAN WHAT WE HAD ALL SUMMER, PEOPLE! So yes, “cooler weather” sheets, not our “cold weather” sheets.<\/p>\n
I even went grocery shopping. I hate grocery shopping, but I did it on my mental health day. BECAUSE IT WAS BETTER THAN THE REST OF MY WEEK. Seriously (and sadly) true.<\/p>\n
But, overall, I was fairly lazy. I slept in. I gave myself a three day weekend. I was fairly useless.<\/p>\n
And it was marvelous.<\/em><\/p>\n The moral of the story is<\/strong>: I need to do this mental-health-day-for-no-good-reason-thing more often!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I didn’t go to work yesterday.
