It's spring in Atlanta, and I'm getting the itch. Concert series, baseball, festivals. Time to shake the winter cabin fever, and get out into the world see it for all it's glory, it's what I look forward to most of all. But Alas, I work a schedule where my days off are split, and where one day just isn't enough. By the time I take care of the personal things I have to do like shopping, laundry, cleaning, there's no time left by then I'm to tired to go out or I have to go to bed early to get it together for work the next day. And by the time my second day comes around things have mounted up that I didn't get to finish on my first day off.

 Time Management.

  My wife says I have poor time management skills, maybe so. But I seem to have so little of it to manage. My work is labor intensive and hard on me physically, so when my day off comes around I'm so beat that all I want to do is lay around & rest.

 Perfect storm.

           I suppose I shouldn't complain, for there's some of us out there whom never get a day off, Single parents for one. Their days off are frothed with home and child care needs, I know the picture of their perfect day off would be when Grandma comes over to baby sit or help, and they get a little time away from what seems the Perfect Storm.

  Enjoyment anyway you get it.

         I love to write , and I love to read so I get my enjoyment from reading & writing Blogs. It relaxes me, but alas my time for doing this is short. Since, yep laundry awaits & chores left undone from my last day off still await my attentions. So going to a concert, or a festival, even a walk around my apartment complex will be put down the list even further.  If you have the luxury of having two days off together, please for my sake find a way to plan them so you can get enjoyment any way you can. Go to Six Flags, Grant Park Zoo, Spring Fest, and send me a blog telling me how good it was just to have time on your day off. And get enjoyment anyway you can.......Trippy.
