Random Day Off...
Today is a Random Day Off. As I noted in an earlier post, Nooze's last four days of school are ALL HALF DAYS. This means driving 5 miles (at breakneck speed) to EOTGW Elementary, dropping her off at 8:15...and re-engaging in this same stupidity at 12:30. As a result, I found it only fair to give Nooze's Aunt R a long weekend. She was given the choice of Friday or Today, and obviously chose Today. Chachi has Tomorrow off, so Aunt R actually got four days off.
I shall spend today involved in the following activities:
1. Grocery Shopping and ingesting Four Bux over in the Metropolis known as Satan's Buttcrack. What can I say; they have Harris Teeter. Tarnation, the 'other' closest town, only has old, sad stores and a Super WalMart...and no Four Bux.
2. Reading. I mean, I do that every day, but whatever. I plan to read more.
3. Planting the rest of the stuff scored at the Farmer's Market yesterday. I ran out of soil, and must purchase more.
4. Working on the Screen Play. I meet with The Writer's Workshop again Tuesday night, and it's my turn to present! Special thanks to The Workshop for new direction and inspiration!
5. Searching for (apparently elusive) violet nail polish for Nooze. I may purchase a random color or two for myself while we're out.
6. Playing badminton with my kid, who has discovered The Art of Trash Talk. There's really nothing funnier than having my 4'3", slim, blond kid yell out things like "Yer goin' down, Old Woman!"
7. Can anyone say "Dinner's on the Grill!"? I'm not sure what we're having yet, but it will be cooked outside. Even if it's potato and corn. Or cake.
8. Taking stuff to Good Will. This will happen post pick-up and pre-nail polish hunt.
There may be more to do, but I'm not sure what just yet. What would you be doing if you had today off?

I do have the day off, and I'm taking an old friend to lunch for her birthday (which was May 2). Never let it be said I don't hold good on my promises, no matter how long it takes me. After that, I may take a nap. I'm getting good at those. Of course, I don't have a Nooze to chase around on the badminton court.
It's Monday, so that means grocery shopping of some kind. And, that's about it. You might want to check my blog today. I'm helping out a friend by doing an Avon giveaway (free shipping!). You might be able to find that violet nailpolish! :-) (I'm not getting kickbacks or anything, just trying to be helpful).
If I had the day off, I would spend it in my hammock, drinking and reading a book. Since I do not have that luxury, I am taking the car to the shop, getting a tire replaced on the trailer, working on homework, helping a friend build an outdoor fountain, scrubbing down the hideous shower, planting flowers, and starting to lay tiles in my basement. But the upshot? Grandma Moses brought me apple crisp to work! So worth it.
I did dialysis, hung out at the Bux with some of my gays, and am settling down to goofballs, ice packs and blogging.
Ask me next week!
If I had the day off, I'd spent a fiar portion of it in bed, nekkid, reading and napping.
When I loaf, I like to do it up bigtime.
You have the right idea about days off. Sounds like a good one.
What's this Day off thingie?
I think I had one last month, but I don't remember.
My Random Day Off is scheduled for the 25th of this month! I can't wait! I shall do nothing productive. Or only things that please ME. Heh.
True days off are spent being incredibly lazy--reading, web surfing, laying in the sun-or with lots of activity--diving, biking, hanging out with friends.
And my favorite nail polish color ever is a deep red called......wait for it......"Mrs. O'leary's BBQ Sauce"!!!
