there is probably nothing special about wednesday mornings for most people. it's finally mid-week, another day at wrok, uni, college, school and it is as difficult as ever to get out of bed.

not so for me. for the first time ince chistmas i dont have to get up. i dont have to be anywhere. i actually have a day off. i still cant believe it.

it all started yesterday after work. i didnt do anything apart from watching dvds and playing online mahjong. until i had to go to bed. great. by the time i finally crawled under the covers it was raining heavily outside, but i could still hear the birds singing. it was wonderful, so peaceful. like lying in a tent in the middle of summer with the rain drip dropping onto the roof. and i could just lie there, no need to go to sleep, no need to force myself to get some rest in order to get at least 5 hours of sleep so that i could function the next day. just lying there.

today i got up at lunch time. it's great. slowly waking up, determined by my body's needs and tehn letting the world in gradually. i miss those days. now it's nearly over and i yet have to go through my long list of to dos for today, important things i really should have done weeks ago, but maybe i'll leave it for tomorrow.

next time i can experience a day of leisure...easter monday
