A day that is followed by another day off.
I really don’t know.
Theses times, I need 4 days off to start to be efficient in my “serenity” 😅A day where I really don’t have “external things” in mind, and where I just “do” for me.
After it’s a story about hobby’s, passions etc 🙂
This is the main reason why the Italian Renaissance occurred.
People growing wealthy enough to have the time and money to create art (or at the very least hire artists) to create art and come up with new ideas.
If you have a world full of people who are just making ends meet all the time … ideas, art and anything new just stagnates as people spend more time surviving instead of using their free time to come up with new things.
Yep. I have two 5-day vacations this year and I’m so glad I planned it this way instead of more frequent 3-day weekends. During just long weekends, I still spend too much time thinking about work.
Now getting to where I take a week off and some of the work disappears or is absorbed by others instead of just piling up and waiting for my return.
A day by myself with nothing to do.
Sleep in, play a round of golf, grab dinner/takeout, and watch LOTR until I fall asleep. No wife and kids involved.
Literally just watched the trilogy for the first time a week ago. Had it on DVD forever but thank god I opted to experience it in bluray first
Very good. Don’t be hasty, after all.
Eat a egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel, go to an antique shop, ride my bike, hike, or kayak, do some gardening, play some music, go to a party. Idk there’s too many perfect day options - but the egg and cheese on a bagel is crucial.
My go-to is pork roll, egg, and provolone on an everything bagel :)
NJ special
Probably getting a good work out in, eating a nice salad, getting high, and watching a good movie.
I would say sleeping in and doing nothing but I feel like I regret it afterwards and feel lethargic.
It needs to have two things, and not have one thing:
- slippers
- books
- deadlines
I wake up, all the chores were done the day before. I have nowhere to be. My wife and I make our coffee and sit outside. The weather is cool enough to be comfortable with a blanket. We sit in silence mostly, observing the changing autumn leaves.
We meander, doing nothing of importance all day and go nowhere until we pick up a deep dish pizza from our favorite local restaurant. We take it home and eat it on out couch while our cats watch enviously.
We go to bed, and fall asleep immediately.
I have nothing else to do, no external worries, and I feel motivated to work on my hobbies (programming, music production). Then I’ll spend most of the day working on said hobbies, learning some new things and creating/adding something cool. Then in the evening I’ll do something fun with friends. Maybe at some point I’ll go for a walk or run.
Definitely spending the day
with my young children, going to a soft-play and then going out for a lunch filled with ‘no no no don’t throw that’ before we return home for a fun evening of 'daaaaaaady, daaaaaaaady’ entirely on my own in total silence apart from the sound of my TV with a videogame on, a fresh cup of tea in my mug and maybe a takeaway pizza on the way.- No obligations
- Good weather
- Wake up well-rested
- Breakfast in bed
- Do some gardening while listening to music (SXM '60s Gold FTW!)
- Shower
- Trivia night at the bar
- Smoke some pot
- Go to pound town
- Feed the munchies
But honestly I’m retired so most of this is just a normal Wednesday for me.
A day with no plans where I’m not thinking about the end of my days off. You don’t get it with a week off. Every day you have a thought about how many days left but two week on Wednesday. You’ve done what you want the weekend is still far away and you know the next week I’d more time. Bliss, no need to worry about utilising your time off. Just pure impulse.
Wake up, have sex, drink coffee sitting on the porch. Pokemon go walk few km, yoga, shower. A nice meal. Hang out. Drinks on the porch, supper, maybe watch a movie, sleep.
If I am the only one with a day off? Going to the beach alone is heavenly.
That depends on the season and my mood…
During spring/summer I would like to go to an interesting place I haven’t been before snd tske photos.
During autumn and winter I do enjoy sitting as home next to a window under a blanket hearing the rain storm outside or seeing the snow cover the ground, knowing that I am warm and dry just a few cm from the harsh weather.
