What would Columbus do?
This weekend wore me out and Sunday was supreme slug day. After a streaming episode of Pushing Daises, I went to sleep early. This morning, I was up with the darkness. I attempted my first day of groggy free writing and then shuffled to the gym. A shower and a warm bowl of Spinach Dal for breakfast (very low on groceries) and I’m not only ready for work, it's been a pro-duc-tive morning.
As NPR chats, I poke through late Friday email messages and find this.

Enjoy your long weekend.

Sigh. Oh, the crazy Sunday that I could have had. The roller skating parties that rolled by. The mountain climbing expeditions I passed up. The wonderful humans I will never meet.
Off to Trader Joes.

That describes me and almost every 3-day weekend at {your current employer here}. I almost never got my act together to remember when they showed up until too late to do anything planned and fun.
In short: I hears ya.

Errands are almost fun. I picked up photos, did my homework, got food. I also sat outside to absorb the sun rays when they slapped the rain soaked sidewalk. Not winter just yet!
