In reply to Karla Darcy. That sounds so nice. I should try and make a regular date with my hubby, I miss connecting with him like that. Thanks he does work the fez well.

I try to do a date with my husband at least once every two weeks. He’s the one that seems to lose when I’m really working hard. I still have meetings to attend to, housework and cooking, volunteer work and sometimes he does these things with me. But when I’m working on the computer he gets neglected. Since he’s the most important thing in my life I try to make time to show him he’s appreciated and I always get as much out of that as he does. Your husband looks great with a fez.

In reply to Kim. Yes, I need to remember how much the down time helps. I get so busy getting stuff done that I burn out and nothing happens- not real resting/ relaxing or my to-do list.

In reply to laura. Thanks, its all in the attitude. And yes, my house gets very clean- well for me- before I start a big project.

I had this realization recently too. Between my regular paying job, my work at the dojo, writing my blog, and then writing, I never took time off! Normal people who work regular week day jobs get the weekends off where they don’t work at their jobs, so I figured I’d take one day a week off from all of my jobs. I sleep in, read, watch stuff on Netflix, play Super Mario Bros. with my boy, and just generally hang out. It’s nice. Like you, I feel so much better after and am much more productive. We all need time off to rest and regroup.

Your husband looks good in a fez. That cannot be said of many people. In nursing school, I would get bombarded with deadlines for papers, mandatory meetings, clinicals and their subsequent write-ups, labs for learning new skills, and on top of this, regular class meetings. There were plenty of times when I had to just shut the whole machine down for a day and do something silly, like reorganize the basement. In truth, this helped me to reorganize my mind. My house never looked as clean, organized and decorated as it did just before exams.

In reply to Julie Glover. Sounds to me like your body really needed the rest I hope you are able to beat this cold Julie. I love days when I can rest and relax, by myself or with hubby :)
