Taking a day off from work, just to take a day off

I imagined at that moment, I’d be trudging into the office in wet boots, cursing the insufficient heating on our floor

Sometimes, you need to take a day off from work just to take a day off from work. If you are a hard worker, and you hardly ever miss a day, every now and then you shouldn’t feel the need to justify simply taking a day off to relax. That’s my philosophy. I took last Friday off, and it was glorious. I didn’t visit anywhere special, oh no; I stayed in. It had snowed the previous evening. There was just shy of a foot of the white stuff on the ground. I figured this was the perfect time to call in. I gave my best impression of someone down with strep throat. After I got off the “sick” call, I cranked up the heater and threw a few logs on the fire for good measure. Then, I brewed some tea, toasted a couple english muffins, and sat down on my big, comfortable couch, wrapped up in blankets. It was in the single digits outside, so I needed every bit of the heat from my furnace and the fireplace. I let my mind drift for a moment, to the hardships that I would be going through had I not arranged for this day to be one of rest and recuperation. I imagined at that moment, I’d be trudging into the office in wet boots, cursing the insufficient heating on our floor. Dwelling on such thoughts, I felt absolutely no remorse for treating myself to a relaxing day. I didn’t do anything productive that Friday, but that’s the point. I just basked in the warmth of my blessed home’s heater and fireplace, read a few chapters of my latest favorite book, and then promptly fell asleep!
