Friends, there is a lot to be said about taking staycations. I am currently on work day #3 of staycation (day 5 overall), and so far it has been a great time off. It's also been a bit of a wake-up call. Remember that post, about being busy? Well, I guess I was moving a lot faster than I thought. I have taken way more naps and slept more soundly in the past few days than I have in weeks! What have I done? A whole lot of nothing.
Yesterday I taught at the gym, came home and showered, took a nap, went out with Steven to look at new phones and wound up purchasing new phones (we should be getting them today...I'm gonna be all growed up with a Blackberry now!), went to the doctor, met up with my mom, stepdad, and aunt and went out to happy hour. During happy hour, I would have been at the Holiday Festival and Parade planning meeting. Instead, I was enjoying a big Blue Moon with an orange slice (the only way to drink it!) and texting the committee chair about the whole thing. I sure hope the meeting was as enjoyable as happy hour!
Today, I took the morning off from teaching BODYCOMBAT at 5:15 am for the first time since February. I have gone to the class every Tuesday since the end of January. It was weird to sleep in on a Tuesday, but I went for a run this morning when I did finally roll out of bed at 7:30. I guess I can't not work out every day. When I got home, I took a nap (noticing a pattern yet?), ate breakfast, made another doctor's appointment (nothing wrong with me, just yearly check-up stuff), and now I'm at the library (my crack den) blogging away.
Moving slowly for once has been so, so nice. I found myself itching to be at work yesterday (weird, I know), but today I'm realizing it's not too bad to slow down and just enjoy taking my time doing whatever I want. More of that independence days goodness, I suppose.
The rest of this week will be spent painting the house, going out with friends, and overall taking it easy. I need to do this staycation thing more often!

I am so glad you used your vacation to relax, I know how tempting it can be to fit as much stuff as possible into that week off. We missed you last night...I can't believe we are done with Revelation!
Yay!!!
Matt and I just decided to do a staycation in January. Glad to hear it's worthwhile because I was starting to worry I'd be wasting vacation days by not going anywhere :)
