If I Had an Extra Day…

Posted on by

The weather gods were on our side Friday, for we made it to Manhattan to see Eddie Izzard live at the Union Square Theatre. He was his usual hysterical self. You either love him or you don’t get him. I get him, and I love him. He was not in drag, but he was looking mighty fine.

Back on topic – We’ve all wished for just one more day to finish that nasty project or to get all that leftover work cleared up. This year – this week – is your chance. Thanks to that marvelous invention, the Leap Year, we have one more day this year in which to earn our keep or, God willing, get some rest.

So what are you going to do with your extra day? Hmm? How are you going to take that extra 24 hours and put it to good use? I’ve been thinking about this all last month and this month. Because my income goals are well in alignment with my efforts, I’m planning a day off. Yes, you heard me. I’m actually going to take a day and do nothing for no one but me! We’re headed to London this spring. I may take it then. Or… I may just take Monday off. It’s possible – I have cleared up my deadlines and the works in progress have longer deadlines. Maybe a haircut, maybe a pedicure… who knows?

What about you? Mind you, you don’t have to have a plan for this Friday, but why not plan for that extra time somewhere in your calendar?

    A day off, what a nice concept! Unfortunately between my day job and my freelancing I can’t take any time off right now, but I’m planning a vacation to Las Vegas in April, and I’ll kick back and relax then.
