Furlough, my ass.

[serene]

It was pointed out to me yesterday (by a boyfriend who has barely seen me in a month, not that that is narrowing things down any) that I have yet to take a single day off from responsibilities since my furlough began on June 1. Yesterday, I participated in a study at Cal for a few hours; the day before, I had a doctor's appointment; the weekend was full of cooking and hosting; three weeks at my mom's; and so on...

I need to get off the merry-go-round or I'll look around on August 1 and find that I didn't spend a single day of my furlough relaxing.

Relaxing. That sounds really good.

Time to go cancel whichever plans I can. Today, I need to take the teenager to EDD to sign up for their youth job programs, and tomorrow I have a date with stonebender, but I think after that, I need to lie low for a while. Wish me luck.

I'm on my fourth day of enforced rest due to respiratory illness (new! improved! with pinkeye!) and sending you luck for healthy relaxation.

Know what you mean - good luck with taking time out for YOU to relax!
