Yes, I’m going to take a day off.
I’m going to:
- clean house
- grocery shop
- meet a friend for coffee
- pay bills and balance the checkbook
- take a nap
- take a walk; maybe take two or three walks
- maybe take a second nap
I’m NOT going to:
- read a book
- work on a manuscript
- talk shop
Hey, we’re self-employed. We can take a personal day now and then.
When’s the last time YOU took a day off? What did you do?

On my last day off, my husband and I visited the CT Renaissance Faire. While I was sitting there minding my own business, enjoying Zoltan the Adequate’s Weird Show, an irresistible plot line popped into my mind and I was left scrabbling through my purse trying to find a pen to scratch it out on a napkin before I lost it. The moral is, you can make your body take a day off, but sometimes the mind has other plans.
Hey, that’s why God made napkins, right?
