Expecting nothing, and it's awesome!

January 22, 2015
Day 267

Okay, so there's no such thing as nothing on a free day, so I don't actually expect nor desire complete nothingness this coming weekend, but as far as weekends go, the one upcoming looks pretty open.

Last weekend I packed up Christmas decorations and put them back into storage, then had a wake in the Bronx on Sunday.  The weekend before, I took all the Christmas decorations down, which was its own large task.  And the weekend before that was New Year's weekend, which though slow, had its own this-and-that going on.

But this weekend?  The one upcoming?  I've got nothing.  Nada.  Zilch.  I'm going to do a minimum amount of necessary housework and enjoy a maximum amount of rest and relaxation.  I hope to do a lot of writing too, but that's become a passion, and doesn't feel like work.  So yeah, I'm expecting nothing from this weekend, and if nothing's what I get, that would be absolutely awesome!

A weekend flew by

          Day 88

And just like that, the weekend's over. 

This Friday night, Andy and I got Chipotle as we usually do, and then, once 1 AM came around, I was fast asleep.  What I didn't know was, I wouldn't end up getting up until around 1:30 Saturday afternoon.

Time flies!

By Saturday evening, we were headed out to a block party, just for an hour or so...we thought.  Six hours later, we finally left, and were home around 1 AM.  Friday night and Saturday were now behind us in the rear view mirror, already fading from view.

Sunday morning (today), I got up around 10:30, made some coffee and toast, and turned on my computer.  Our friend John came by around 12ish, but by 2:30, we were beginning to get ready for my nephew's wife's 30th birthday party at 4.  And I just got in from that now a little while ago.  It's almost 10 now on Sunday night as I write this, and my entire weekend, full as it was, is now gone!

I treasure weekends full of nothingness, but I have to say, even really full ones like this one are full of many happy memories, and lots and lots of laughs!

The weekend flew by, but in its wake, we're left tired and happy.  And life is good!
