So, I don’t know about you, but I can’t help but love a chunk of time that looks like this: 4-day work week, 4-day Texas vacation, 4-day work week, relaxing weekend with no obligations, 3-day work week including rehearsal visitations and decorating the theatre for the holidays, and a 4-day Thanksgiving break with Ted.
That, my friends, is excellence at its finest.
I’ve already shared with you the food and family coma that was my trip to the Lone Star state, and my 4-day work week was mellow yet fulfilling after the previous week’s rush of student matinee performances and discovery workshops. My no-obligations Saturday of relaxation and getting stuff done around the place time included the glorious feeling of sleeping in and waking up without the chime of an annoying alarm, checking out some local fish shops to find our new fav for supplies, plants, RO water, and eats for the crays (I may or may not have found a few I’d like to add to the brood!), bumming a few parks and cute little small-town shops in this mild winter weather, mall browsing, cooing over a herd of cows at a dairy farm, reading a great book I can’t put down, and checking out this city’s food truck & ice cream scene. I’d call that a successful Saturday. Re-reading that last statement, this image comes to mind:
The no friends things totally isn’t true, but I think I’m starting to sound old and gray at 26. Granted, my Saturday is not what I would have pegged as the “ultimate day of fun” – not in the least. I’ve got plenty of rad ideas for that! But it was relaxing and enjoyable. I wonder if my 16-year-old self would have been mortified by my concept of a successful Saturday? Anyhow, onto the goods:
How was your Saturday?
