It was one of those weeks. You know, where the work on my desk seemed never-ending and the projects laid on me boggled my mind and stretched the limits of my rusty skill set. Then mix in some wise-acre comments by co-workers--I was due for a morning of cat-petting and all but doing not much. The brain...and the body was fried.
There is something about having the house to yourself on these days. Nobody to answer to, nobody to do things for. The day is MINE and mine alone. I can do what I want...or not do a thing--it's all my choice. Okay, so the laundry pile whispers to me and the cats still poke me for treats all day....I can accomplish those feats and still maintain the calm.
Weekends aren't the same--those are scheduled days off. Most people have Saturdays and Sundays to do this sorta stuff. Nope. Mine is a full-fledged playing "hookey" day, so I feel like I'm getting away with something here--stealing these minutes and hours from those who demand from me, stickin' it to the "man", hiding from the world, and all that good stuff. It's glorious. And it should be mandatory at least once a month.
Don't tell anyone where I am, okay?

Enjoy it. I'm taking care of a sick husband. Wanna trade?
Even tho I do not work I never get those days...well almost never - when my husband goes on vacation - then and only then do I get a day or two to myself (his vacations are long weekends in Boston...visiting his family - not my idea of something I would want to do - ) So enjoy yourself...!
Sounds like absolute heaven. I need about a week of that, just me and the dog. I'd even be happy to do a little housework.
Enjoy your day
You can bring home the bacon and burn it to cinders in a pan with the best of them--huh?
Ooh, I love days like that...enjoy :)
I'm having a day off today too--I love just bumming around!
The reason I love being retired. I can do what I want, when I want. Nobody here to ask assinine questions..or tell me what to do or expect anything from me at all ... I set my own schedule...do things I like ... oh, alright along with some I don't like...but, all in all...a pleasant day in my 'jammies. ..Sometimes I don't even take them off ...or maybe I do...just before somebunny comes home for supper..... hahahha ...
have a soooper day off ... I have tea and biscotti if ya wanna fly over....wear your bunny slippers and jammies...I am .....
Well played. You deserve it.
Sounds like a wonderful day and I'll be having one just like that in two months from tomorrow. Hope I make it until then!
Okay. I promise. Your whereabouts are your secret. Hope you had a great day.
My lips are sealed.... ;)
