As promised, I took the day off of from walking -- and most everything else, including my daily to-do priorities because keeping them on a day off would be such an oxymoron. Yes, a day off on Wednesday. Aging does have a few perks.I tossed most of the usual suspects but kept a few: this blog post, my daily 750Words, minimal social media, maybe some email, SOLSC comments (somewhat behind with new slicers) and replies (woefully behind on those) -- no time yet for the last two until I post this. ICYMI I am also embracing my inner owl.
Beware the Ides of March but keep slicing your way through March with the Two Writing Teachers and SOLSC slicers
Taking a day off is so needful sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, I also needed a short post because of running late. Maybe I didn't take enough of the day off after all. hahaha
DeleteThe Victorian rationale of 19th "public recreation" movement to "uplifts workers" was to keep them off the streets on days off but also to re-create or refresh them to improve productivity.
I just read a great nerd-out post about celebrating the Ides with students. Staying home sounds like a lovely option too!
ReplyDeleteSounds intriguing -- computer, tech or STEM nerds? In addition to usual classroom Ides ideas, ones from Latin, Classics, film nerds abound online but not the prime nerd categories. Would that be classic nerds (not to be confused with Classics nerds)?
DeleteI do a lot of work online from home -- volunteer advocacy, what I've recently decided to call "guerrilla teaching" but used to call "stealth teaching." A day off works differently. Already home, it means tossing the list and resisting the temptation to put "just a few minutes."
