I did get a phone call last Thursday, whether I wanted to do an extra early shift on Friday. I had to think about it. Normally it would be yes or no within seconds. This time I had to actually think hard. Financially it would have been a good move. Mentally and to some degree physically not so much. I picked mentally. I am just so tired and I need to think about myself.
So, I did clean. I did do the dishes. I did go grocery shopping. I did do my laundry. I did visit my Mum (which is NOT a chore by the way) and I did get visited by friends and aunties. But I did not work. Instead I sat behind the computer for a full morning on Friday. I listened to the rain on the roof (you can sing the song now). I watched television. I read. I crocheted. I relaxed.
Tomorrow morning the alarm will sound. At 3.15 am. Wish me luck!
Good for you for listening to your body. There is a time for work and a time for rest. Good luck with your early morning shift tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAt least I will be off early as well: around midday. But the alarm is still going off too early in my opinion!
DeleteYou did absolutely right ! We need a break to get back some strength. I too listen to my body and when I have enough I sit down and relax. There was a time where I thought I have to be perfect that was a big error !

That poem is great and a good reminder to all of us to listen to our bodies and not over do it sometimes. It sounds like overall you had a relaxing long weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh! Luck, indeed.
