I'm coming to the end of a long weekend. Because today is President's Day we had the day off from work. So what have I been doing all weekend? Well, I'll tell you one thing I haven't been doing—working! Because things are so busy at work, I occasionally have to work over the weekends. I really don't like doing it, but sometimes I have to just to keep on top of things. Because I don't get paid overtime and because we're not going to get raises or bonuses this year, I also don't want to make a habit of working more than I get paid for. This weekend, I could very well have brought work home with me. I have plenty to do and a lot of deadlines to meet this week. But I put my foot down and refused to bring work home. This is also the last holiday we have between now and May, so I wanted to take full advantage of the long weekend. I didn't want to work, and I didn't want to even think about work. I put it all out of my mind. And it turned into a great weekend. I spent a lot of time reading and writing and basically doing nothing. It was wonderful and relaxing. And now that I am fully relaxed and rested, I'll be able to tackle the week ahead. I should really do this more often...
Current mood: rested
Current music: iTunes on shuffle—Melissa Etheridge "An Unexpected Rain"
Current drink: soy milk—healthy, but really wishing I made a trip to the liquor store for some wine or whiskey or Cognac
