If this week had a theme, would would mine be?
Burn-out prevention. That’s the reason I gave for the week off I have from work this week. No expectations. No papers. No emails. No organization or filing or inventory. No being responsible for another person’s problems, other that the person I made.
I’ve been planning this week for weeks. Thinking about meals I can make myself, planning out grocery store lists, thinking about any annoying chores or to-do’s I could cross off before the week got here so I could enjoy every possible moment.
I decided to get off social media for the week so I could spend the time intentionally writing, reading, or resting (napping. Yes, intentionally napping.)
It’s the week of St. Patrick’s Day, and i’m leaning into it. Hard. Green popcorn. Green cookies. Irish beer. Bailey’s pie. Shamrock everything. Potato soup. Potato and leek soup. Shepard’s pie. It’s all happening. And all of those positive things are filing my brain rather than obligations and responsibilities. It’s going to be a good week.
