A Bad Three-Day Weekend

Tweet

Ha, is there such a thing as a bad three-day weekend? Yes, unfortunately! This week, I am doing what I call my "3-3-3". That is, I took off Monday and I'm off today, so that I get a three-day weekend, a three-day workweek, and another three-day weekend. It really helps break things up and give me time to rest and get my own stuff done, and it only costs me two vacation days. In my opinion, it's even better than taking a week off, because I can do it three times for only about the same amount of vacation days. Sounds good so far, right? Well, it usually is. This past Friday, I was all excited about all of the big plans I had for all of the things I wanted to do on my three-day weekend, but suddenly, things came to a screeching stop when I started to feel sick. Yes, that was the problem--I had gotten some kind of stomach bug, and I felt so awful that I had to leave work early and go straight home and to bed without being able to do any of the errands and things I had planned for the day. I was sick in bed for almost 24 hours, then after that, I was only able to eat a little bit at a time, and I had no energy. By the time Monday came, I finally felt much better, ad I did enjoy my day off. My three-day workweek went by just fine, and now I am into my second three-day weekend, with a Friday off. Luckily, I feel fine now, and I am hoping to do the things that I missed doing last weekend. One thing I wanted to do was spend some time on MyLot, so I'm glad be doing that, now!
