It’s been more than a couple weeks since I’ve had a complete, full day off and I’ve been a bit bitter about it. And so today, I did no work. It was the most wonderful, extraordinary day ever. I look forward to doing it again soon – that whole not working thing.
I reorganized my craft room and sewed a curtain.
I displayed many of the instagram prints I ordered a couple weeks ago.
I made a batch of iced coffee.
I made my bed – actually made my bed. It’s been weeks.
I ate a delicious supper of salmon and roasted broccoli.
I updated the firmware on the router in the office. [say what! I surprised myself.]
I discovered how to get internet in my house. [three cheers for that one.]
I bought a roku and it is changing my life as I type.
I’m about to make scones to take to text study tomorrow.
I ran errands in Austin.
I assembled individual jars of cold oatmeal with strawberries.
Seriously. This day has changed my life. Yesterday, just knowing I would have a free day put a spring in my step. And then today … lovely. Absolutely lovely. Alas, back to work tomorrow but then I’m just three short weeks away from a week of vacation. I might count the days.

We're big fans of the paper-chain countdowns in the Ulland house. We usually count down to a holiday, so we use appropriate colors, but you *YOU* could really jazz it up, I'm sure.
