So far today I: slept in, lounged and cleaned for a few hours, hiked with friends, went to the gym, and currently have laundry in the dryer and banana bread in the oven. A pretty ideal day if I say so myself. And very needed.
It's Easter weekend which means 3 days away from work and a chance to recharge my batteries. For the past month I've flown back and forth for work every 3 or 4 days. The constant back and forth, combined with working long hours every weekend, is probably more exhausting than the fall in which work takes me away from home for about 2 weeks at a time.
Originally I was supposed to be traveling this past week, but changed my plans a few days before I was supposed to leave. It was partially because it would not have been a productive trip, partially because it was a very busy week in the office and I knew they could use me, partially because I didn't want to leave my cat at home alone for a week, but mostly because the idea of getting to stay home thrilled me. I knew if I stayed home I'd be able to get errands done as well as actually sit back and relax. Take a mental break.
And it has been fantastic. I actually got more than 8 hours of sleep last night (which hasn't happened for quite some time), and then once I did wake up I just laid in bed watching TV for a bit. Knowing that if I had wanted, I could have stayed in bed all day. Granted that's not my style so after an episode of Boy Meets World I still got up.
I'm looking forward to another 2 days of pretty much the same. Looking forward to starting next week fresh and energetic. Looking forward to not dreading flying out again on Monday. And finally, looking forward to my banana bread which is just about done.....
