Do you ever give yourself a day off?

I do not have to teach today. I do not have any music rehearsals today. I could do absolutely nothing and my world would survive. I will practice guitar and do some editing on my book. Maybe I will even cycle when the fog burns off. Do you have relaxing days like this? Photo is of a random sunset, taken from Mt.Diablo.

Yeah, I try to make a habit of making sure I have days/times like this every so often.

@TheHorse I did get some house chores in, but that's about it. I also made almost eight dollars today.

Do I ever give myself a day off? Quite a lot to be fair. As often as.I can. I have lots of relaxing days. The world will indeed keep spinning regardless of what I do or do not do. Hope you get to cycle when the fog burns off

OK. Maybe I will do my dishes before I go to bed. I like listening to them go round and round.

For me, every day is a relaxing time. Because there's almost nothing I have to do every day. I spend most of the day surfing the internet. And that's incredibly boring.

Nice to have a relaxing day when you are working. I am retired and do what I want when I want. That is quite a picture.

Yes, I try to take time out for me. I had company over the weekend so I pretty well had a lot of time off. We need it once in awhile.

Funny every day is a possibility of having a free day but I cannot do without being online.

Very few of my days involve stuff I absolutely have to do. Heavens knows how I ever coped with a 'real' job.

Eh, real jobs are over-rarted. I am not sure that I have ever had one.

I don't get a day off as often as I would like to, but I do appreciate them when I have the chance. I hope your day off was wonderful and you enjoyed it.

I am retired, so most of my days, except for this current mother-in-law dementia situation, are at my leisure.

Yes, I'm retired so often just read in bed. I still do dishes at least once a day and cook meals but those aren't difficult to do.
