a day off of work feels like a guilty pleasure

I have been very busy at work lately. Lately being the past two months. Busy as in working late is the norm. Busy as in I haven't been to RWFL for longer than I want to admit because i have had to start too early most days.

Now I was expecting all the busy-ness to be tidied and submitted and finished by last week (which it wasn't - not my fault).... So Mr-T and I agreed to take today off of work and spend some time getting some wedding planning done and try have some quality time together instead of deciding with arguments are expired.

So today we achieved:

• a kick off visit to our wedding venue's in-house wedding planner
• opening a wedding savings bank account (yes yes this is many months over due)
• preliminary looking for a wedding florist (friends - we are looking for suggestions. we really don't mind spending our money with people you personally know) 
• brunch - well I had breakfast and MrT had lunch so it counts as brunch
• signing my new lease and paying a whole chunk of money as a deposit
• near bankruptcy for the next 10 days (see above)
• a whole afternoon nap

Now I am cruising the internet catching up on blogs and things while MrT chats to his neighbours. We'll be having left over pizza from last night for dinner and mojitos. And the best thing is that we have still another 2 days of not going to work while we enjoy the same two days of weekend as everyone else.

I feel guilty that my work colleagues have to finish the project without me but this taking leave thing feels pretty good and for once it is really great to have a weekend for weekend fun things like reading and eating lunch with friends and seeing family instead of running from shops to event to errand to groceries to house cleaning to sleep to work.

I could get used to this :)
