The Day Off

Today was a much needed day off.

I planned ahead to ensure my very important personal matters were taken care of.

There were many of them... and as the day dragged on, it was evident, my ambitious list of errands to run was more far fetched than realistic.

For starters, I wanted to get some sleep. It is unusual I know, to say that. I need to schedule time off to get some sleep. You see, it has been a critical past couple of weeks. Even on weekends, when I should have time time off to relax, I am usually running around doing things or being places, enjoying environments.

I don't even really have more than 6 hours of sleep. Not consciously. So I did it. I slept in. Well, sort of. I dropped off munchkin at school and then came back for a morning nap. It was lovely. I woke up well rested and followed that with meditation. Sighhhhh this day couldn't get better.

Until! OH NO! Am I late? OMG I am late! I had a 12:00 Noon appt and it was 11:16 am. I needed to get dressed and get out the door!

The rest of the day was a whirlwind, driving here, driving there, driving everywhere it seemed to get all of my neglected personal affairs taken care of.

The court house, yes, I had to go there too. A family affair, but a court house visit, nonetheless. It was mentally, emotionally, and physically draining. It was a balmy 90 degrees by the coast and the breeze was more of a reminder of the heat than the hopeful cool relief I so very much longed for.
