Today marks my first day off in ten days.
G's to do list: grocery shop, map out dinner, clean, laundry, corolla tune up, bank, work out, pay bills, pay rent... Make sure I make the most of my day off. If you asked me back in college what I thought I'd be doing on a Wednesday at the end of February in 2013? Sitting at a Toyota service lounge for 2 hours on my day off wouldn't have been my answer. Playing 18 with a practice session or maybe writing a blog post, creatively venting and thinking of new designs, that sounds more realistic. Here I go, day dreaming about taking a week off at the beach as I have B's "island playlist" humming ocean tunes in my ear. The sunshine, sand, and break from technology sounds more than divine but more unattainable. To play devils advocate to myself, what else would I be doing today if I didn't have a check list? I can't say I'm unhappy keeping busy because I feel accomplished after a full day of activity. Granted I'm a little embarrassed my average bedtime is about ten o'clock... That includes weekends (because my Friday happened to be a Tuesday, and I'm mashing my Saturday/Sunday into today!)
Man, that's why I enjoy the occasional bender after a couple weeks of hard work. Much deserved I'd say! That's what leads me to the exciting month ahead, Mad March. Birthdays, visitors, beaches, breaks.
I think in all what I'm trying to say is that it's ok to keep busy and dream big. Day dream rather, it creates a world we strive to obtain. Our ultimate bliss. Whether it be a vacation or a day running around, take care of yourself: mentally and physically! Enjoy time for you, and mine happens to be doing nothing with my feet kicked up at the Toyota lounge for a couple hours.
