I rarely take time off of work, or even think about a "me" day. But that's exactly what I did today.

I HIGHLY recommend it !! You all deserve a day to yourselves!!

I spent a few hours in the boxing gym with my trainer, my hair is freshly colored and Im thinking about taking a cat nap before the kiddo gets home from school.

A big part of me feels very, very guilty, and yet another part says what the hell.

How's your junk doing? Neglected junk is unhappy junk. Just saying. Quality junk tme is important :)

Glad you enjoyed R & R is ESSENTIAL

I did take the week off work to finish finals for one class and all I'm doing is goofing off....
I have sooooo much to do that I really need to get back to work so I can become organized again.
This is a great idea and I also recommend it, just as long as you don't get stuck in a rut.

Excellent! Hope you continue to enjoy your day to the fullest. :-)

I took the day off today too. I slept late, bought myself a new lounge chair and sat outside all afternoon reading. It felt really good. I'm pretty sure I will be doing it again....soon!

The company I work for allows us to take our birthday off if there isn't anything going on so I took mine off this year and it was great.

Enjoy!

namaste, I hope you enjoyed your day off today. You deserve it! I'll be off tomorrow to take care of some matters I need to take care of. After that, I'll enjoy the rest of the day. We gotta do that sometimes...

in my region we call them "Play Days" they tend to be far and few in between, but I imagine that is true everywhere.

All work and no play makes a person old way to fast. JMO

Good for you! I need not only a day off from work but a time off from having the kids. This 365 24/7 thing is a killer.

I always wonder why we (as women in particular) feel bad for taking a day and doing something for ourselves? I am also due for a me day!

Good for you for taking one and I bet you look fabulous because you feel fabulous! Tell the guilt to get out of the way and find someone else to harass!

"Mental Health Day"--that was always a standing joke at my previous job (which was beyond stressful)!

namaste02 06/02/2011

Well, my afternoon turned into running around like a chicken with my head cut off to help someone out. I may try this again tomorrow... I am self employed, so its just an issue of rearranging a few things.

My guilt comes with the fact that Im not working 24/7 around the clock like my SO :( who wont see a day off for another 3months or so. :(

I would trade places with him in a heartbeat if it meant he could catch a break......

order up a night of dreaming of a day off???

deleted_user 06/02/2011

Wow, I feel kind of guilty. Have been off since Wed and don't go back til Mon. They were all days I had to take. Lots to do around here,?just doing it slowly and kind of taking it all in.

I also work for a company that gives us our birthday's off with pay. My day is fast approaching, and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it!
