Days Like This

Days off - we all need them. That's what the weekends are for. And, yes, that's what holidays are for too.

Because of the MLK holiday, I was able to take today (and Sunday) pretty easy. And after the hectic-ness of Friday (with dealing with car stuff) and doing errands on Saturday, that was pretty good.

In fact, on Sunday I did absolutely nothing school-related. I didn't even check my school email or review my lesson plans.

So, what did I do? I went for a jog on the Lakefront Trail with my sister. I had a relaxing brunch with my sister and a friend. I read a book. I went to Mass at a new (for me) Church with my sister and another friend. I watched Downton Abbey with my sister. It was simply a lovely day.

Today wasn't quite as relaxing, though I did find time to go to the gym, read, cook, and watch some television. I did spend an hour or so lesson planning for this and next week, as well as preparing additional materials to accompany my lessons. And, in just a little bit, I am off to Bible Study. A good, full day indeed.

Yes, days off. We all need them. Thank goodness for days like these.
