Today is my day off.  As soon as I get a little bit of work done.  Then, I’ll be off.  We’ll take the dog for a nice long walk.  Read my book.  Maybe see a movie.  Rake some leaves.  Go explore some haunted places.  BBQ.  Yes, we BBQ in all weather.  Go to the library.  Call my best friend.  Drive around a look at RV’s.  Visit.  Dream.

A day off isn’t about sitting around doing nothing.  I’ve tried that and it’s boring and achy.  The fairy tale image of being curled up in front of the fireplace with a warm mug of something and a book is only as enticing as a Kincaid painting.  First, I need to get exhausted and filthy.  That’s glorious.

Update… Some yard stuff, long dog walk by the river, the Harry Potter movie, lunch for under $10 (for both of us) at a great new pizza place, hanging out with a friend, grilled blackened salmon for dinner, and couple episodes of Deadwood.  What a great day off.
