Slowing down before the long weekend begins

It's 3:50 p.m. I just had a nice refreshing nap.
My husband messaged earlier in the day to say that I don't have to pick up the girls at school in the afternoon because he'll bring them to a nearby coffee shop for some Daddy time. So I plopped myself to bed right after lunch and took a nap.
I actually forgot to take out the heavy curtains from the washing machine before I slept. But I remembered to do so as soon as I woke up.
Loaded some blankets and towels this time. They'll remain soaked until the following morning.
It's going to be a 4-day weekend (Friday to Monday) with a few trips here and there. I know I'd rather sleep but I could use some fresh air too. We were supposed to book a resort in Batangas province but then Taal volcano released tons of volcanic smog so we cancelled our plans. We'll probably just drive by Manila Bay to get some sea breeze. I need to be away from this concrete jungle even just for a few hours.
I ordered pepperoni pizza for my girls' snack because it was at 40% with free delivery. I actually don't feel like making dinner tonight. I'll just cook pork adobo, let it sit overnight and enjoy it tomorrow with hard boiled eggs and steamed rice.
