Last Wednesday, I took a rare day off. I had a use-it-or-lose-it situation, and although we're at a project crunch and I'm working overtime, I thought a free day would do me good.
After breakfast, I changed into a dress ~ a fairly new one that I thought looked a bit off, but as I wore it that day it seemed fine and a good candidate for the upcoming clothing swap. Mid sleeves, lined, zip back, pretty.... I wore it for a few hours and deemed it acceptable.
I did some organising: I cleared off a shelf by consolidating some things and tossing others. I finally started to tackle Boxes In The Closet ~ not clothes, but papers and other things I have kept and I'm not sure why. I made a point of tossing at least as many items as I kept.
I epilated and shaved hands, arms, and legs in preparation for the weekend clothing swap.
I wrote a couple of posts, cropped some pictures, and read a couple of blogs I wanted to catch up on. One belonged to Ali who is a new reader and I'd love it if she'd drop me a note. Heck, I love to hear from you all. Write anytime!
Winter was in remission so I did a bit of grocery shopping ~ in drab, alas. But the few hours in a dress were a fine way of relaxing.
I think I need to figure out how to get a midweek day off every month or so. I felt good at the end of the day!

Being self employed it is a bit easier for me, but I do try to take at least one day off each month. I ussually try to do something "cultural" with the time, go to an exhibition or visit a garden, but make sure I have a full Paula day.
