How do you usually spend your weekend?
A typical weekend for me, as a homebody is spending my day off snuggling a little longer in bed.
Somehow my body clock still remembers to wake me up at 5am or 6am even my alarm is off. Sometimes I get lucky and sleep until 10am.
Once I'm up, I tidy my room, do my laundry and sweep the leaves around the house. After that, I head back to my little cave for another well deserved power nap or I watched movies and kdrama.
Back then, I used to be the busiest but overtime as I turn in my 30s, I slow down just small chores, soft naps and simple routines.

I hoped for a lot more relaxed retirement. My husband suffers of senile dementia and I am his caregiver.

I usually sleep during the daytime and am awake at night. I am watching a movie this morning so will go to sleep in a little while. (I'm surprised I haven't fallen asleep watching the movie, honestly.

@Jehanne When my daughter was a teenager, she'd tell me I was wasting money going to see new movies because I'd fall asleep half way through it.

@DaddyEvil not at all! because based on experience it's so relaxing sleeping inside the cinema, specially when the seat is a recliner.

Every other weekend we gave the Grandkids ….hectic time. The other weekend it’s out to do what we wish. Sometimes we go out for the day.

I can relate to this so much. Sometimes a quiet and simple weekend is exactly what we need after busy days during the week. Waking up early even without an alarm happens to me too, I guess our body clock just gets used to it. I also enjoy doing small chores, tidying the house, and then relaxing with a movie or a good series.
As we grow older, our priorities change. We may not be as busy as before, but those slow and peaceful moments feel more meaningful. A calm weekend, a short nap, and simple routines can be a very nice way to recharge our energy.

It's Church day and dining outside for us. That has been our practice for about two years now. And yesterday, I was away from mylot for most of the day because of church. And since Victory church is just next to SM City, we went there straight fro lunch and a bit of shopping.
The shopping was for my fur babies though. It was payday sale and since it's weekend lots of people which I don't really enjoy. Don't like crowded places so didn't stay long. Just grabbed what I needed for the fur babies and drove back home.
