Majority of the working people might be rejoicing because finally the weekend is coming and it’s time to take a rest. But for those retired ones, doesn’t matter. For me, It’s just going to be another busy working weekend. However, I get my Sunday afternoon to ride my bike, enjoy the beautiful countryside view, and spend time with my son.

I can understand to a degree. I work when I want, and have since I've been let go from Pizza hut. My husband is looking to retire at the end of the year. But for me, each day feels the same as the last.

My weekends the busiest. I have no control of my time and have to work all weekend.

@kaylachan I am sorry you were let go from Pizza Hut. We have one here in Jerusalem. I have not been there in ages.

I'm editing a new manuscript online, but the days of the week no longer matter. I may not enjoy tomorrow, though. The forecast is calling for snow to start falling at 3 am and keep falling until around 6 pm tomorrow evening. I've had more snow this year already than I wanted. *sigh* (I'd try to sell any snow that falls here but nobody wanted to pay the shipping charges to get it to them. ) I hope you have some good time off this weekend.

Unfortunately, I didn't. Didn't even get to ride my bike.

My son's birthday was this week, and I'm going down to visit him this weekend. He lives about 4 hours away. Excited to see him and celebrate his birthday with him.

@toniganzon Happy Birthday to your son! He is almost a year younger than my son. My son lived with me until he turned 18, and then he moved to another city for a job opportunity. He is currently living with his grandparents.

@moffittjc my son is still in senior high. Graduating in a few months. He will be a university student this year but he would still continue to live under my wings.

It is sweet not to have to rush off to work every week day and wait for the weekend.

Yes, I don't work 8 hours a day on the weekdays but I still work. Still have to rush once in awhile when I'm suddenly needed in the site. But most days, I work from home. Weekends? It's a different story.

@RubyHawk I was already doing that before the pandemic. So nothing actually changed for me during the pandemic except the fact that we couldn't travel and go to beautiful islands during those lockdown period. And until now, traveling isn't as easy as it used to be.

@toniganzon Many people are working at home now. Everything is different since the pandemic. I know several people who work from home.

By Toni @toniganzon It sounds like Sunday will be a special day for you. I like Friday because on Saturday I can sleep later and read and relax with my cat. It is a special day for me because it is our Sabbath and that means no computer or TV or phone.

The only time I get to enjoy Sunday is only for two hours when I get to ride my bike. And that didn't happen.

We are retired, but there are always plenty of things to do during the week, so weekends are always welcome.

That's so true what you say about retired people. We have trouble remembering what day it is as they are all much the same.
