A Personal Day

Ever have one of those days where you just have to get away from the daily work grind... where you can just kick back, relax a little, and finally unwind, tomorrow is that day for me because I took a personal day, where I'm going to sleep in till noon, wake up and shower and dress and watch a little television if I'm in the mood, then eat a leisurely lunch with a lot of crunch, and savor every bite, afterwards have a nice dessert, like some sherbet, that'll really hit the spot, then drive to my appt. in town and get massaged by a masseuse, go get a manicure and a pedicure, shop for a new dress, and go get my hair done by my hair stylist, later at home check my e-mail and see whats on the soup, laugh at some of the funny poems because they can be so humorous, read some of the serious ones, and feel the corners of my mouth suddenly droop, then after that I'll maybe take a walk and stroll around the park, but by then it'll probably be getting late and the dusk will be turning to dark, so I'll go home to my family, and I'll say good night and go retire for the night, where I'll go into my sanctuary, change into my pajamas, watch some t.v. and turn off the light, but I know most if this is just a fantasy, but it really doesn't matter since I'm not really into all that glamour why I'm just your average Josephine, like a lot of folks just trying to stay afloat by making ends meet, Because when I look around there's 1001 chores to be done, especially the housework, where I'll be washing dishes, feeding the cats, dogs and fishes, cleaning windowsills, dusting and vacuuming, mopping floors, wiping down doors, doing the laundry, and shredding some old bills, But hey, I'd rather get these mundane chores out of the way on a Friday, so then on the weekend I can do what I want and go out and have a fun day!

You go girl. I like to save my personal days for when I really need them. Say when it's really cold or nasty out and I'd rather stay home. Maybe when |I'm sick or been burning the candle at both ends and need the rest. Of course at work the boss makes you give him notice before taking the personal day. This was a good read for me this am. Me too. Let's go together. God Bless, JB
