What? When???

I woke up this morning to absolute darkness. Except for the tiny red light telling me the coffee was waiting for me.

I saunter out to the kitchen, now completely comfortable on the path through the house, pour my coffee and head to the sun porch.

There's a fresh new jar candle out on the little table out there, Autum Folage, that smells nothing like it name implies. It's spicy and fresh. I light it and settle into my comfy chair to savor my morning routine.

As I sip my coffee and take that first drag off my cigarette I start planning my day.

I've got a presentation early next week, and it'll only take an hour or two to button that down. There are a few reports that need to be run and submitted. Nothing terribly stressful, just schtuff.

I'm preparing for a line change and there's a lot of things I want to do for that...

As this is running through my mind, I came back inside, jump in the shower and get my day started.

Wait. Something doesn't seem right. I look at the calendar and it looks....familiar. The phrase is the same as the other day. As I tear the pages off I suddenly realize.

Crap. It's Saturday.

It's official. I'm completely integrated. I've lost track of days and time.

So you know what I did? Huh?

I went and put my jammies back on. It's Saturday damnit. I'm lounging for as long as I want to.

For the past few days I've thought it was Friday. Longing for the weekend. Then, when it's finally here? Yeah, I think it's still Friday.

I've GOT to get my head together..........

LOL. I was wondering why you were up so early this morning. (At least I have the dogs to blame.) Unless something comes up, I plan to be in my jammies all day long. :D

There must be something in the air. All week I thought it was Thursday. Then on Thursday, I thought it was Wednesday. I hate those weeks. They totally throw me off.

Sorry, but I can't help laughing... I do that all the time... I'm forever asking 'what day is it?' ;)

I did the opposite, wandering out on the porch for a smoke thinking TGIS when the realization hit me, dammit, I got a late order on Friday night that had to go out this morning.

No housework done.
No laundry started.

Eh, clean clothes are over-rated, I guess.

Heh. But getting to put jammies back on is a good thing. :)

I make myself get up and go on the weekend or by the time Monday rolls around I'll be up all night and wanting to sleep all day. heh.

Friday only comes around once a week, normally. Sometimes, he arrives with the cannibals.

I woke up right at the same time you did, since you're an hour behind and it was 6 a.m. here. And I was wide awake. Dangit. As a result, I had a massive headache until about 5 p.m.

And I did *not* get to put my jammies back on. I got to drive up the coast with four animals and a hungry husband.

LOL!!! I've done it before, hell, I've even went to work on my day off. On my first job, I had Thursday's off. and sure as snot, I went in there, at my usual time.

My looked up and said. "What the HELL are YOU doing here!?!?!?!?" I looked at her, rather puzzled and said, "I work here!", she's says, "Not today you don't!" I looked at my watch and the calender, and said, "Damn..." My boss nearly died laughing at me. I left, went back home and enjoyed the rest of my day off.

I was teased about that for weeks afterward.
