I often think about how I really could use time to stop for a week or two so i could catch up on everything I am neglecting without more piling up. I’m jealous! Even though you have plenty to do – enjoy this time!

It always amazes me when I have a day off from the office how MUCH I need routine and how overwhelming my to do list is. I hope this break lets you accomplish a lot!

I love having time to tackle that sort of stuff. You’ll feel SO good when your To Do list is all crossed off!

And I think you’re right on with the busier than ever phenomenon – I felt like my task list never ended when I quit my last job. Just looking for the next job is all-day work in itself!

If you run out of things…I have a garage that could use a big time going through. Heck, I had time of unemployment then too and couldn’t get to it…but then again that was in the winter and the garage isn’t heated!!

I have been working freelance for 14 months now and I am still working on that list! Because The List is almost a right of passage of the newly self-employed.

But you have to admit, staying in your jammies to get some of that list done is pretty sweet.

I’m always complaining on Mondays that I had to come back to work to rest.
This past weekend, I do believe that I saw the dirty clothes pile move itself down the hallway to the washing machine.
So I threw a shoe at it.

I have been on an academic cycle for a long time now (I shudder to think of how long it’s actually been) and we get the summers “off.” I’m always shocked about little I get done during the summer days. Once I sleep in, have a leisurely breakfast, work out, go to the post office, eat lunch, get the oil changed, do laundry, make dinner, and update my blog, the whole damn day is over!! How does that happen?!
