every day be earnest

Yesterday was a very nice day. We haven't had a two day weekend here at home in so long I can't remember the last. I got the fridge defrosted, cleaned up some stuff, and generally poked around. It was sort of productive, sort of relaxing, and very much needed. I woke up this morning without an alarm at about the same time I would normal wake up for work, then rolled over and went to sleep for another hour. That's always an enjoyable way to start the day.

Of course, it's not a real two day weekend because I'm going to remote in to work and try to get some things off my to-do list. I know, after working 10+ hours every day last week I'm going to put in more time on the weekend! Thing is I'm buried at work and I don't deal well with the chaos that causes. So if I can put in some time and create a tiny bit of order I'll be more happy in the long run. But that will only be the morning because I've got work to do on the van this afternoon.
