So now I’m on break, but it is yet to feel like one. Takes time, all those things, blah blah blah but it’s still the weekend. What if we’re all called back to work on Monday? Then what?

I’m looking forward to getting a good sleep on one of these days, but I also know that there’s a good chance that it won’t happen. I know that I’ve concerns about wasting the time. This is different to annual leave as this one is mandatory as no one is working until some point in the new year.

Anyway, what I have to wonder is what I do with the time that I have.

So the obvious choice is to rest and rest well. Take it easy, do very little. Do almost nothing. I could probably argue that that is something I’ve earned, but I don’t really want to. The sleep, yes, but the rest, no. I’ve spent far too much annual leave over far too many years doing a lot less than I planned and that is not something I want to be doing this time. This time I want to take advantage of the time that I have. Only have so much of it; need not let it waste away.

But the thing is, I don’t know if I will actually make good use of it. This weekend I’m doing the usual weekend things. I’m getting weekend stuff out of the way, but then I need to hit the ground running on Monday. I don’t do that and then that’s it. What else is there to do?

So I need to work hard and I need to work smart, and I need to actually use my time to get things done and get things out of the way. Or, I don’t, but I should. Or something. All that razzamajazz. But I do need to do something with my time, because relaxing will only get me so far and I will get restless. My restlessness is, unfortunately, inevitable. Not something I like too much, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Of course I could also probably tune out and do a lot of nothing, and then go “Oh, I have all these things to do and only one day in which to do them”, and that wouldn’t be too good, I don’t think. Bad way to go about things when you’ve stuff to do.

Maybe I will just sleep the whole time. Wake up, go to bathroom, go back to bed, sleep. Wake up, eat something, back to bed, more sleep. Cycles of sleeping and waking, with more sleep than none, and that would be better than bad.

But overall it’s going to be a decent time, I hope. I will try and get some things out of the way, and so long as I get more than one, then I think I’ll be able to say I’ve done well. Just need to make sure that I actually do things.

Could be better, could be worse. Didn’t sleep well so I think this affected by lack of sleep more than I’d like.
