It's Coming!!!!

Yes, I will do part 2 of the last post - but will do it sometime during the day tomorrow (really today).

In preparation for that story, I'll tell you that on Saturday when I was packing my lunch, some of that meatball dish my friend gave to me, I was thinking about how grateful I was to have that. I was remembering a time when I ate nothing but oatmeal for two months. Two meals a day - both oatmeal - for two months because that's all I could manage. I remember being soooo sick of oatmeal, but grateful that I had something. And now, even in the current situation, so far I haven't gone a day without a meal and have not had to eat only oatmeal or only rice (did that one for a while, too) for weeks or months in a row. You know, there are people who won't have the same thing two days in a row, never mind two months.

Anyway, the whole thing reminded me of the story of Manna from heaven. The Israelites were so grateful, but got pretty sick of eating just that. God got mad and basically said, 'okay, if you want meat, you'll get so much that you'll be sick of that, too'. So He sent quail (I think - too lazy to look it up....) and they got sick of that, too.

God never promised that He would give us a gourmet buffet every day.

I've been figuring I would have start with the oatmeal pretty soon and that I'm very lucky that I haven't had to do that thus far. Still, I figured it's coming, but it's still something. I still won't starve and die like some people do. So, I said a prayer. I said I was sorry for all the times I've been less than grateful. I said thanks for what I have. I said that even when I have to resort to the oatmeal, that I'm grateful and told God "thank you" ahead of time for that. That was Saturday afternoon.

Now... re the title of this post....

.... oooooohhhhhh I'm so excited!

ha!

It's coming!!!!

I found out that.....

..... are ya ready?.... (hehe)

I'm going to get A DAY OFF!!!!

Yes!

A WHOLE day! A whole day off!

Yep! This Saturday!

Yes!! WOOHOOO!!!!

A whole day off!!!! YAY!!!!

What should I do with it? I don't know!

Here are some things I could do with it. Let me know what you think, 'cause I don't even know what the best thing to do is...

I could:
- get caught up on housework
- sleep (but then my day would be gone)
- clean and organize my office
- play a video game
- take the dogs for a walk
- groom the kitties
- prepare a week's worth of meals and freeze them
- laze around in my pajamas and watch movies all day
- give myself a home spa kinda thing (soak the old feet, manicure, do my hair...)
- get up whenever I feel like it and linger over coffee and a crossword
- get caught up on some stuff re the day job
- bake something (I think I have stuff to do that...)

Any other ideas?

What should I pick?

Can I really take the day off? If I'm not productive, will I struggle with that? Will I think about all the things I should be doing? How do I mentally prepare for a day off so that it can be a real day off?

Anyone?
