Free Days

Everybody knows just when things get so stupid you want to punch a kitten that's when Lady Fate decides to be nice and throw you a bone. I got mine this morning when a little voice mail told me I was not needed at work today, so I got another day to rest and restore my health.

But what do you do with a free day given to you by Fate? You can't just waste it...can you? Well, break down the logic. If this day was NOT given out as a freebee, you would'nt have done anything productive anyway, so you're really not losing any time, right? So why not take this free day as a time to enjoy the things you usually don't have time to enjoy: junk food, TV, trashy magazines and the all important reclining sofa. There is no need to be shy about it either, if you've got fat pants wear them. If you don't brush your teeth, nobody will ever know. Hell, this would be the perfect time to try on every item of clothing you own and bask in how wonderful you look in it.
Free days are a gift from God. A blessing. Treat them differently than other days. If you're slammed for time and you're given a free day it's a way for you to get caught up. If you haven't had a vacation day in weeks and along comes a free day it's the time to bust out the bunny slippers and mint chocolate chip. And if you've been sick for a week and get slammed with a free day it's time to count your blessings and recuperate another day.

Getting better, WW
