The oddness of a break

Day 103

You know when you are on a break, and you get all confused about which day it is? You sleep and wake up at weird times, you lose all sense of normalcy, and the time on the clock never feels right.

Much as I like days off, I can’t handle too many of them in a row. I really do like routine and structure. I like doing things, being busy (in a I-have-enough-to-do-but-I’m-not-overwhelmed-with-craziness kind of busy, which is a busy hard to find). Guess it’s a good thing I don’t have off that often. I work at the library every day of the week, and of course I’ve always got the daily school stuff going on.

So when the library is closed and I don’t have anything really pressing for school or clinic, I feel strange, like there’s something I’m forgetting to do. (That reminds me – I need to pay my credit card bill. Like right now.)

Today was that way. It’s a Friday. Felt like Saturday. I slept in, had a good talk with a friend on the phone, putzed around, watched a movie, did a little homework – I couldn’t help myself. It was nice. I really needed the break.

Still, I’m kinda looking forward to Monday. I got things to do.

Onward.
