3 Day Weekends

Before retiring, 3 day weekends were the greatest things in the world. It was great leaving work with the feeling that you had all the time in the world before you went back to work. Ok, 3 day weekends were the 2nd best thing...vacations were the best. After retiring, 3 day weekends are more of a nuisance. Everything is crowded, you lose a day of Netflix, you go to the mailbox several times before realizing it's a holiday, trash collection is messed up, campgrounds are packed, banks are closed, the new lens you ordered is delayed a day (or should I say the lens I WISH I had ordered?), and on and on.

Now 3 day weekends are times to relax and stay home. The only problem is how do you relax at home? When you're home, you see all the things you should be doing but aren't. You see the dusty furniture, walls that need painting, driveway that needs sealing, house that needs caulking, weeds that need pulling, laundry that needs folding, and on and on.

Hurry up Tuesday so I can get away from the house and relax!
