hey, what a glorious thing a random four-day weekend is! (sorry to all those out there who have to work on this ghost of a monday) but hooray for me! i'm actually loving it. for some reason, when you have a longer planned weekend, day-trips seem more possible. there's no reason why i can't take a day-trip on a regular weekend, but it always seems rushed. but with the knowledge of no work and the quiet atmosphere of town, getting away for saturday was terrificly relaxing. my friend and i went driving up north through marin and sonoma counties and just quietly enjoying the countryside and small towns up there on saturday. it was perfect. next time we'll plan it a bit more and get a bed and breakfast or cottage or something near some hiking or river excursion activities and make a whole weekend of it. but still, having that peace and adventure on the first of four whole days of freedom was perfect.

yesterday, was just as relaxing having no real agendas for a sunday. but the great thing was that it was a sunday without the gloom of a normal workday monday hovering over me. so more relaxation still. and now, today, on monday morning, i have the pleasure of still basking in living life rather than worry about what to wear and what i have to do today. i love this four-day weekend thing. we should really consider starting a work-trend like that. (again, sorry to all those out there that have to work today. you are making this dream possible for the rest of us. thank you. you will be rewarded in the afterlife, i promise.)
