Staying Still

As such, I’m looking forward to it for downtime and some peace and quiet.
However, I feel almost guilty about staying home, and doing Not Much.
My brain keeps on saying “Oh, but you could do a day-trip to [x], [y] or [z]“. And it’s right, I could. But I don’t really want to – except my brain doesn’t believe it.
It’s odd. One part of me wants to just have a down-weekend, a time of not doing a lot, and most emphatically not driving any significant distances. But the other part obviously does want me to do all of those things.
It’s a bit schizoid, so I guess I’ll have to wait and see which side wins out in the end. All very strange.
I try hard to take Saturday off, I think a six day working (whatever that entails, which is rarely money) week is enough and I need a day to do not a lot. I also refuse meetings on a Friday, so that I can catch up with stuff on that day. Good luck with the downtime.
