Surprise Holiday
The weather is such that the office is closed for the day.
This gives me the chance to have a nice, quiet surprise holiday. Not that this is a holiday, but it is what a holiday should be. Let me explain what I mean by this. I despise how we have holidays that are a date, and, instead of having the holiday on that particular date, it is moved to a Friday or Monday, so as to make it more convenient for the purposes of “travel” or some other ridiculous consumerized version of a holiday. It forces people to believe that they should “do” something on their holiday instead of just relaxing.
Today is a day to relax, watch a movie or two, read, maybe go out later for a film group. I haven’t decided yet, and there is no need to. I have no obligations, no commitments, just my own time to explore the world in whatever capacity I choose. Today is a good day.
