I was not in work today, or yesterday, being technically on holiday. But still at home, which is quite relaxing as it requires very little packing.
Of course, it's probably more relaxing if you remember to tell the alarm clock on your phone *not* to go off as if it is a Monday morning and you have to go to work....
It did mean, however, that I had no excuse for not getting up and doing stuff. Stuff, in this context, meaning going shopping as sadly, both my favourite jeans and my second favourite jeans have reached that point in their lives where they are starting to become unsuitable to wear in polite company, due to holes in unseemly places.
Also my proper, not-quite-walking-boots shoes have reached the end of their natural life, so I needed to buy some new walking shoes/trainers, too.
I don't like shopping. But sometimes, you have to bow to the inevitable.
As shopping goes, it was a successful day.
I bought some jeans, and some shoes, and a couple of tops, and a couple of dresses, and I picked up 2 books I'd ordered from Mr B's, and succumbed to the temptation of one more (but only one!!) And apart from the jeans, all of the clothes are things I should be able to wear at work as well as at home, which is good.
But it was a little stressful, as I don't like it. It is better when I can go in the week when the shops are not too crowded!
Today involved lots of house work, mowing the lawn, running lots of errands and such like. There may also have been a certain amount of napping. It's a *long* time since I've have much time off and I think several months of stress at work are catching up with me.
