The Day After
You know what's even better than Thanksgiving Day with a wonderful meal, the whole family milling about, and hanging around the fireplace? The day AFTER Thanksgiving.
There is no agenda.
I don't owe anyone anything that's due.
I have no deadlines to meet.
There are no expectations of me.
I don't have to make any decision harder than which book to read, or which leftover to eat, because there is no shopping or cooking to be considered.
There are no nagging household chores waiting to be accomplished, because I'm not home!
There is no where I have to be at any given time, only where I want to be.
Sleep can occur in the form of naps at any time at all.
The term "hanging out" becomes a reality.
Now, you'll have to excuse me while I go have some more coffee, followed by a sauna and a steam shower, and then some reading and perhaps a nap after lunch. Or maybe a movie with the kids, or maybe more reading, or maybe just playing with the kids, or....maybe the possibilities are endless.
