I had a rare two days off in a row but they felt more like a week. I think that’s mostly because I did a lot of stuff on Tuesday and then had a much more relaxed day Wednesday, so it was a good balance of busyness and calmness. Here are the highlights from those two days.
On Tuesday, I hit the ground running and didn’t stop for most of the day. The first thing I did was take a tour of Sweet Pete’s Candy Shop with a friend. Once the tour ended and we took some pictures, I bought a bottle of some good sarsaparilla (better known as root beer) and enjoyed that as we did a few more things in the downtown area. After that, I bought a tire, got some lunch, and went to a self-defense lesson that I’ve been attending for a few weeks now. The instructor and I both juggled a bit for the first class before the later class started. I had fun and learned a lot during that lesson, and then I enjoyed slowing down and having some time to myself at home.
I got an early start on Wednesday to the few things I did that day. In addition to having the tire installed on my car, I also got some special food for my dog from RawMade Services, went to the gym, and tuned in to a meditation call in the evening. Of course, I went through the usual activities in my daily routine as well, but I had plenty of time to relax and enjoy some quiet time.
It had been a good while since I’d slowed down time and packed as much stuff into two days as I did this week. I’ve gotten sufficient sleep (or close to it) for most of this week and carved out lots of time to myself, and I started this morning with an amazing float, so I feel great despite Tuesday’s busyness. Having two days off in a row is a rare treat for me and I try to make good use of it whenever I get it. I’m satisfied with what I did this time and I hope I’ll be able to say the same next time around.
