A Day Off

There are few things better than a day off from work (except for maybe a week or two off from work). :) I took today off because A) it's Friday and who doesn't like long weekends? B) I worked 5 hours of overtime last week and needed a break from proofing, and C) I have enough time off to plan at least one day off a month so, why not? It's good to have those days of rest to get your spirits back up for the next week of daily grindage.
So, my plan was to go to the Worcester Art Museum since I've lived within walking distance of it for almost 3 years now and have never been! C has been a number of times, so I figured while he was meeting with his advisor in the afternoon, I would walk down and check it out. Well, it turns out that last night we spent 5 hours watching and playing video games with our upstairs neighbors, and didn't get home until 6 am. This meant I didn't wake up until 3:30 pm. By the time I got dressed and went to Dunkin Donuts to get breakfast, er, lunch, it was 4 pm. And when we finished eating it was about 4:30 pm. The museum closes at 5 pm. Oops!
But that's the great thing about long weekends- even when you miss a day of activity, you've still got two more days of freedom. :)
So for the rest of the day I plan to watch the Red Sox game, Stargate Atlantis (I'm actually home to watch it- yay!), and maybe some reading in bed. Although the way things have been going we may end up in another video game crackfest until the wee hours of the morning. But that's okay, because I still have an entire weekend to enjoy.
