I could have a year-long vacation at home and not catch up with all the stuffs I need to do. http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/06/a_week_off#c605821 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 21:59:02 +0000 c605828@http://metachat.org Actually relax and not just catch up on stuff, no one likes a busman's holiday. I agree, planning out elaborate meals I've always wanted to try.

I make a list of things that need to be done, get about 20% done if I'm having a super productive week and spend the rest of the time reading and crafting. I wish I could do one every month :o) http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/06/a_week_off#c605834 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 23:29:00 +0000 c605837@http://metachat.org Cook, read, catch up on computer and office chores. And sleep lots! http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/06/a_week_off#c605837 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 08:54:58 +0000 c605865@http://metachat.org You folks are great. I've now decided I'm going to have the kids take care of the floors while I direct them from the sofa or the painting area in the "dining room." None of us actually eat there; it's more of an office space for me. I'm actually happy that it's gotten chilly and rainy here. My favorite kind of weather. Gonna schedule a massage regardless of the trade situation. I need one. And I need to take care of it when I can be sore after for a couple of days.

This is the last day of mine and I accomplished. . . um. . . I mowed the grass in the front and backyard and. . and. . explored just how hungover I could be. ;-) Also I read a lot of trashy novels and played way too much Minecraft. I was going to completely rearrange and paint the living room, paint the stairs, build a couch out of pallets and foam, clean out the garage, take out the winter clothes and clean every inch of the house but none of those things got done. The winter clothes got sort of done, if you count as done that having piles of folded clothes in various places around my room. I am a bit irritated with myself now but there you have it, the staycation blues and actually it was pretty great. So my only advice would be: don't plan, just do. ;-) http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/06/a_week_off#c605874
