It's funny how I look forward to weekends but end with overwhelming to do list. It was a nice weekend in all, a bit tiring, but I did get to lay in bed earlier this afternoon for around an hour and that was nice. I went to the grocery store on Saturday and got my daughter's shoes fixed. This Sunday, I brought food to Chewy our dog with 5 puppies and visit my mother and my 10 year old niece whom my mother is tutoring. Then I went to buy emergency medicines like for allergy and stomachache. I spent the first few hours of Sunday clearing out my notification here in myLot. Time flies by so fast on weekends and slow like a turtle on working days. Why? . It is now time to regroup, prepare for the week and carry over list.

Don't worry by Wednesday it will be looking forward again to weekends. Lol i just noticed that Wednesdays are always a deadline day.because I don't want to go cramming on Thursday. Friday is almost a lazy day. My male staff are out.playing basketball as early as 1 clock then we have Zumba at 3.

You sound very happy with your work. I will try to build such a mindset but I cant get rid of being in the slave machine.

@florelway I dont even want to interact with them. I am not a very eloquent person. I feel very uncomfortable with authority. I am taking the time enjoying my life visiting beaches.

@yoalldudes I have worked so hard to get the position and I am happy if I achieved my target. Only the elected officials ruin my day.

Time flies by so fast on weekends and slow like a turtle on working days. Why? . Been asking myself that for over 50 years. When Yvonne and I got into Dance Music and Raves it became more apparent. We loved for the weekends.

If one loves what one is doing then the week end is spent well.

Maybe I feel that way because I have not been productive as I hoped to be.

The Mystery of the slow weekdays and the relatively faster moving weekends is something that even I have never figured out! Yet it also shows the level of stress in our jobs and lives is also quite a lot. I had somewhat different weekends this time owing to a specific reason. I hope that you have a nice week ahead.

Thanks for the update. Work days always go slowly. Now that I'm retired, every day whizzes by.

Time moves way faster then it use to, I swear you blink and 4 hours are already gone. I'm going to be busy today and not looking forward to it
