i did a wild thing today ...


... I took a day off.

After a horribly busy week which culminated in an intensive 8 hour training on a Saturday, I decided I've had enough. Today I ditched another 4 hour training session and canceled my two tutoring sessions. It's bad on the finances but so necessary for my mental health.

So now I'm having a coffee and reading The Economist, then I'm going to tamper with a green and pretty kitchen curtain which I need to hang today. I also set up an afternoon at the Museum of History with my friend. There is an exhibition on women's history that I've been meaning to visit since February. I also hope that Half will be in a rollerblading mood this afternoon.

It feels so good to remember to take a break.

Still, I think I will do some teaching prep for tomorrow before leaving so that that won't drag on my brain for the rest of the day. Another horribly full week to follow.

Hey geeky,
GOOD FOR YOU! I'm really glad to hear you're taking some time off to re-charge. I'm sorry I didn't call back...A. got very very sick and came back home, and I've been very very lazy, so I didn't leave town after all. Hopefully, next week.

Another week, another week-end. You can make it up by sending some pics, dear Sibyl. Wishing you a week full of inspiration.

About Geeky

I read, I write, I dream, I laugh, I teach, I cook, I love, I watch, I see, I listen, I AM! This is the space where I gather things I enjoy from all the four corners of the mighty Internet, from literature to popular culture, from politics to cooking, from crafting to rhetorics to teaching and humor. I like them all.
