Stalecation

because even ‘staycation’ isn’t weak enough to describe my plans.

I’m taking a day off tomorrow.  I’ll have a ton of work to catch up on Monday, but I realized that I would feel like that on Monday even if I did work on Friday. That’s just how things are going right now. So from that perspective, it really won’t make a noticeable difference on my workload, but mental health-wise I think it’s going to be key.  My big plans include sleep, and the even rarer luxury of going to the grocery store at a non-busy time.  I am sincerely excited about this.

Nate has tomorrow off without having to use a vacation day, because I guess his company supports the troops more than mine.  That does make me wonder… if I am asleep past 11am, does that count as observing the minute of silence? I don’t talk in my sleep, and I’ll think thankful thoughts when I do get up, I swear! Or, do I need to set an alarm for 10:59 and spend at least 120 seconds mutely awake for it to count?
