When Was Your Last Personal Day?

I took one yesterday...and I highly recommend it.

Yesterday morning wasn't going swimmingly....

Dropped off the girls, and planned on heading to two classes at the gym.

Got a call en route,

and had to head home and do a few things.

Got to the gym,

went to my locker....and realized I forgot my sneakers.

Back to the car, -11 outside.

Headed home,

picked up the sneakers,

missed the class,

went to the gym,

and realized I needed a mental vacation.

I worked out longer than normal.

Even read a silly book while on a bike.

Sat in the steam room for a long time.

Showered.

Headed to my favorite mall.

Wandered a bit, picked up a few things at VS...

Little known fact- my first job was a clerk at a local lingerie store

I was 16

....loads of stories for another day

Poured over books and magazines at Borders,

Listened to "Lenka" on Pandora (trust me, best station ever),

Sketched three new birds,

Dreamed a little,

Came home just in time to pick up the girls.

It was a lovely day.

My batteries are recharged.

I so needed a personal day.

Today I will play catch up...

5 loads of laundry,

3 bathrooms to clean,

Floors to mop.

Meals to plan.

Shopping to be done.

Tutoring to plan.

Freezing again (-19 this morning)...

Oh well.

It was worth it.

I'm putting another one on the calendar right now....
