Shooting the breeze

On Sunday I did something that I hadn't done in about six weeks -- I basically took a day off. I didn't work on the farm or my day job. While I did scrape some wallpaper, and I did putz around the house a little, I mostly visited with my Mom and Maryellen's parents, and just chilled out. It was hard at times because there is so much to do on the farm, but when those thoughts popped up, I tried to put them aside and enjoy some down time. I think Maryellen and I even watched a movie Sunday night.

This is after a spring of working 10-15 hours a day, seven days a week, between both farm work and my day job. Call me crazy, but I think everyone should take a day off every month and a half or so. I feel pretty re-energized.
