I've had this whole week off. No responsibilities, no plans, no requirements, no WORK! I haven't had more than a weekend off, without responsibilities (and on my own, at least from the hours of 8-5!), since high school.
I have time to just be. I took a day trip to see my best friend yesterday, just because I could. Admittedly, I haven't actually DONE much -- a lot of wandering around downtown, watching Buffy and America's Next Top Model, the gym, cooking and not waking up at 5:30am... and it is wonderful.
This was what I've needed for a while.
