Yesterday, I took my car in to get the lock on the hatch door fixed. It's hard to load the groceries in the back of the minivan when you can't open in. I also spent 90 minutes in the dentist chair. Those those little expenses sure made my Amazon earnings for the month look like babysitting wages. But .... in three weeks I will be able to chew a bagel!
Weeee! Shopping! Okay, I went to the Salvation Army Thrift store (and bought two plates for $1.40) and the Dollar Store (where I bought loot bags for the Cozy Chicks goody bags for Malice Domestic and a couple of bars of soup), but it was shopping just the same.
Today not only will I go grocery shopping (and this week can open the back of my minivan to load in the groceries and 25 lb bag of cat litter), but we MIGHT even go to the MOVIES (to see The King's Speech).
All these marvelous things can be done without guilt when you're not on deadline. And you can watch Star Trek episodes in the middle of the afternoon, too!!!
Tomorrow it's back to work on Bound by Suggestion and then I have to start Victoria Square #3. But whoa--two days off in a row. I could (and better not) get used to it!
What what things can you do when you don't have to be at work?
I like meeting friends for lunch knowing that I don't have to rush back to work. I like it when I can do all my errands during the morning and have the afternoon to do whatever I want, be it read, seeing a movie and just being outdoors.
ReplyDeleteI love when I don't have to work on weekends, because I can finally find some time to cook and meet with my friends. Just going out for a walk without worries can feel like a godsend! :D
ReplyDeleteBeing retired I even hate to leave a comment on this. But, I like to read, do handwork and quilting when all the other projects are done.
ReplyDeleteI like to take a day or two to just enjoy my family and friends, then it is back to work. With promoting and editing, there is no end to the to-do list, even when my books are finished.
ReplyDeleteI took a couple of days off this week too. There's no one in the stores - for once I actually enjoyed shopping.

Gotta admit, I agree w/Cozy in Texas. Love to browse the stores in the middle of the day when (for once!!) they aren't packed to the gills. And in New Jersey, that's darn near all the time. Fun!
