how i fully enjoy my first real day off in weeks:

1. i stay up late the night before.
2. i get at least 8 hours of sleep.
3. there is NO ALARM set.
4. there is no time-sensitive agenda.
5. i make myself a mozzarella & cheddar omelette with breakfast potatoes.
6. i drink 3 glasses of water (so far).
7. i marvel at the 65 degrees-and-sunny weather.
8. i can now breezily enter a clean(er) room.
9. i dreamt between freshly laundered bed linens last night.
10. i write my first blog post in WAY too many days.
    

i also backed up all the vital files on my laptop. the poor machine has been acting up lately, and i'm worried that one day soon she won't boot up at all. i'm excited at the prospect of getting a new computer (partly because i would actually have the funds for it, instead of it being an urgent, overdrawn decision). i'm also paralyzed with the questions: do i splurge for a Mac? i haven't been a Mac person yet. i don't know if i want to pay to be a Mac person. but is it worth it? it must be. i want to do a lot more with my computer...blog more, edit more beautiful photos, maybe even record some music...

i tend to be a person that is willing to pay more where it counts (for example: after several horrid experiences, i will dish out an extra couple hundred dollars if i can get a direct flight instead of giving myself a heart attack trying to make connections). but i'm also a person who has a hard time spending a lot of money on one single item. i love nothing more than spending a little handful of cash on several items a lesser woman would have had to pay for just one of those items (confessions of a bargainista). but a handful of cash? for ONE item? it gives me pause...as i think it should. sometimes i think i let go of my money too impulsively. i will say that i don't keep things i don't absolutely love (at least not anymore, and i'm still learning not to BUY things i don't absolutely love). but still, sometimes i think it's a little too easy for me to spend money because it's been awhile since i had to nervously pinch every little penny. so i'm glad to discover that i still have some smart money sense in my head.

well i suppose i should go hop in the shower now, for a couple reasons:

1. on one's first day off in a long while, one should not shower before 1pm. it is now 1:47pm.
2. i think i'm just not gonna blow-dry this hair today. the sun streaming through my window has me feeling extra carefree. sorry world, today's the day you bear witness to the True Mane.

i hope some light shines through
whatever kind of day it may be where you are.
