96 Hours of Bliss

From Thursday at 3:00 PM until Monday at 3:15 PM last week, I was not scheduled to work. I had 96 hours of bliss, free from work, customers, and all other work related things. It was amazing. 

How did I get those days off? 

Well, it started because I asked off for the wrong weekend to visit family. Then, I thought other family was visiting, but they weren't. So, I just kept my weekend off. 

What did I do with my weekend? 

I spent time at the library. This time I put new labels on books, shelf-reading, and straitened the puzzle area. I enjoyed talking with the ladies without feeling the pressure of heading to work. 

I read. I'm rereading Harry Potter, so I finished HP1 and HP2. I love jumping into Rowling's world. I'm reminded of how a great a story-teller she is. I love realizing how she was weaving the conclusion, hinting, and setting up for all the other plot lines which come later. 

I watched some movies. Though at the moment I can't remember any of them. I think we watched Star Wars  1. (We're rewatching all of them. Last night we finished SW3. I want to watch the other three before vacation, but they say that's too many in a week.) 

I slept. I loved not worrying about staying up too late because I had to work the next day. The weather cooled some which made sleeping even better.

I wrote some letters. It only took me an hour to write two letters this time as opposed to the last time which took two hours. 

I spent time with my family and catching up with some friends. Good food, good conversation, good shopping, good driving, good times, and great people. 

I highly enjoyed my 96 hours of bliss, and I'm anxiously awaiting my (at least) 192 hours away which I'm sure will also be blissful.
