Rant #2,086: Lazy Day

And that is just how I would characterize my Presidents' Day.

It was a lazy day for me, a day where I did practically nothing.

And that made it a good day, to a certain extent.

My son worked, my wife worked--her bank was the only bank in town that was open, and why they were open yesterday but closed on Martin Luther King Day is anyone's (PC) guess--so I was left at home on one of the few days that I have off from work during the year to do what I wanted to do--

Which was practically nothing.

What did I actually do yesterday>

1) I took my son back and forth to work.

2) I went to the bank that I mentioned to do some banking.

3) I went directly to the closed post office to mail a few important bills out.

4) I made lunch for myself and my son--my wife likes to make her own.

5) I digitized some LPs.

6) I went out to lunch with my parents.

7) I watched some bad movies that were so bad they don't even bear worth discussing.

And the one thing I did not do much of was spend time on the Internet, on Facebook. I leave that task for during the workweek, and since I did not work yesterday, I did not visit that social network for more than a moment at a time.

I also did not wonder whether it is President's Day, Presidents' Day, or just plain Presidents Day. I don't care where the apostrophe actually goes if it is used at all on this day, but yes, it is when we celebrate Washington's birthday--actually, he was born on February 22--so happy birthday, George.

That being said, the other thing I did was, at least for a day, take a step back from my and my family's recent situations, which again, I have not gone into here--the latter situations, at least--which did get worse as we moved into the holiday weekend.

So the only place to go is up, and I didn't really think about these situations yesterday at all.

We have done all that we can do to make things better, and I almost think they have to get worse before they get better, and yes, I think we have hit rock bottom, so things can only get better.

Yes, the shortest month of the year has become the longest month of the year for myself and my family, and we will work ourselves out of it, simply because we have to.

But I did not think about those things yesterday.

I simply had a fairly relaxing day, doing things that I consider to be fairly relaxing.

Today, it is back to the grind, and that is exactly what it is, a grind.

The day seems to take eight days to be over with, but you have to get through it to get to the next day, so I will do just that.

There really isn't much more to say, other than yesterday was just what I personally needed, and I wish that my family could have shared the day with me.

Onward and upward!
