I took the day off.

I know. You're saying...hey, didn't you just go on a lengthy staycation?

Yes. Yes I did.

But today I got up and it was hot. It was hot last night. I was sweating while I was sleeping! And I got up just before dawn, like always, and made breakfasts and packed lunch. And I was hot. I turned the air conditioner on for breakfast! So, after everyone had gone and I had settled in with my soy yogurt and toast with peanut butter and my crossword puzzle and the morning news I thought about my plans for the day. My warm drive (No AC in the car yet) to the mall to walk. My warm drive back. Chores. Chores. Chores. Errands. And I just plain didn't feel like it. I wanted a day to do what I wanted to do. So I took the day off.

Now. I still did laundry and made the beds. I still went to the bank and the post office. I still am making dinner. But I went back and laid under the fan on my bed after breakfast and I read a book. I took a longer than usual shower. I surfed the internet. I took the day off. And I may take tomorrow off too.
