I have a few things to do today, but when the sun sets, I'm going to change into my pjs and relax. Friday nights are the only evening I do this. Saturdays are my one day a week that I get to rest, really rest and I guard it with my life.
My family and friends are aware of this. They know if they want me at an event they won't schedule it for Saturday. If it's a wedding, uh uh. A funeral, sorry. Emergencies are a different matter, but other than that, Friday sunset to Saturday sunset are strictly off limits. It's the only day of the week I don't work.
I have a tendency to be a work-a-holic, so if I let my guard down, I'll pay for it the following week.
Some might think I'm selfish. Oh, well. I know me. I know my health. I know what I have to do to look after me and my well-being. If it irritates some people, that's on them. They don't have to live with the consequences if I don't rest. I do.
