A Day Off
Yesterday was my personal holiday, one per year for each employee to use as we please. Unfortunately, I had to fit a 30 minute meeting in before I was able to make Thursday my own. DH ended up with a work task which included a big ball being dropped he had to fix, so I literally spent the day myself. I got coffee and a breakfast sandwich and stopped for some provisions for snacking later and headed to the lake. I swam; I puttered around on a paddle /pedal boat, napped, and binge read a collection of June magazines left by others. I intended to get some work done on my book-but really just gave it a read through and it is in rough shape! I guess it will be along time before it is seen by others.
I took a long route home later, stopping off to see a nearby town's hopping downtown area and the cruise boats sitting on the river. No dinner cruises are happening yet. I've had many company events on these two boats, or a third, another paddle boat.
I had well over 100 e-mails waiting for me, and am slowly making progress. I needed a break, and Thursday was a nice day to do it, as today should be lighter, and I get a couple days of weekend. Don't I look oh so chill!
That looks like a fabulous day to me!
ReplyDeleteHighly recommended regardless of where anyone goes, just break out and do something different. The swim was the best part and I need to do more of that.
DeleteI am glad you enjoyed your day. I intend to go to the beach sometime next week. I will pack some food and drinks along with my folding chair. I will see if I can keep away from other people and enjoy the beach.
ReplyDeleteI was very fortunate to not have to share the dock, the swimming area between the docks, and even the hosue with anyone. Stay hydrated-I drank so much water and still was thirsty all day yesterday. The sun just dehydrates me.
DeleteSounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you-it was. A little different being alone there.
DeleteThat looks like a fun and relaxing day.
ReplyDeleteSo relaxing, I even napped mid day on a Thursday.
DeleteYou look so pretty in that last photo, your day sounded lovely! xxx
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind-considering my hair was pulled back in a sloppy braid and not a lick of makeup. I think the slightly darker hair coloring is a better fit than the blond-blond.I just really saw it in this picture. I need a good haircut though.
