Saturday becomes Monday thru Wednesday...

This being the night before my new shift begins I come to the realization that Friday has now become my Sunday.  Saturday, the day most people use to sleep in, spend time with family and take time to relax has become my Monday thru Wednesday.  Completing a week's worth of work in the matter of two days is pretty awesome.  I am reflecting on my week of Saturday's and finding the first week was not very productive...but that's okay.  I took the four days (I worked on Monday) to basically just recharge after the holidays.  I did manage to get a whole whack of laundry done so it's not like the productivity was non-existent.  I was able to go see the love of my life two days this week which was absolutely wonderful.  Only having two or three days between our visits is going to be absolutely fantastic!  I was able to do this while my son was in school, so nothing taken away from my time with him at all.  I did some groceries, did some post-holiday tidying, and spent a lot of quality evening time with the kiddo.  I even managed to actually cook a few meals this week....and by cook I mean 'not microwaved'.  The thing I notice most about the things I did do this week is that ALL of them were done at a relaxed and leisurely pace.  I didn't feel any pressure to get anything done right away, no stress of how much was not getting done at all, and nothing actually felt like a chore.  Amazing what time will give you.  As much as I didn't feel I accomplished much, I wasn't stressed or overwhelmed by all that needs to be done, I was relaxed because I was suddenly aware of all this free time I have to complete it all.  Oh time, where have you been all my life?  Well...for at least the last 10 years or so...
