No Plan Weekend

It's a holiday weekend and I didn't have to work.  We didn't make any plans for the weekend because every weekend you have off you don't need to do anything.  Plus there was plenty of sports going on.  The Tigers are currently playing the Twins and I've been able to see each game of the series.  It's nice to be able to see them, but the down side is having to listen to the Twins announcers.  We watched some of the Red Wings game last night, got depressed because they didn't bother showing up and chose to watch a movie (Skyfall) instead.

The past couple of weekends I have had off, we made it a point to get out of the house and do at least something on either Saturday or Sunday.  Nothing major, just did some stuff to get out.  We found a couple of parks to go walk around and get some fresh air.  Even during the winter, we found ourselves wanting and needing to get out.  The weather was pretty cold for about four and a half months so 'getting out' just meant getting in the car and driving around.  Seeing something different. 

However, there are weekends when we don't really want to do anything.  This was one of those weekends.  We have a vacation coming up in a few weeks, so why not have a low key weekend?  As long as these weekends don't happen every single time I don't work, I'm just fine.  Sitting around two weekends off in a row feels like at least one of those weekends is wasted.  The next weekend I have off we'll be home and more than likely will be doing some sort of activity.  So why put all your energy into this weekend? 

After a weekend of doing nothing, I always feel really relaxed once I go back to work on Monday.  I usually get about eight to nine hours of sleep a night to make up for the week prior when I usually average about six.  The fun thing about going back to work is that I get the usual 'do anything this weekend?' questions.  When I happily say no, I get some weird looks.  Not everyone understands the point of a lazy weekend.  But I sure as hell do.
