I've decided to have a ME day today. It is all about ME for the next 24 hours.
No worrying re work today or what dribbly, whiny, demented patients I will have to care for tomorrow. No housework (apart from dishes and cooking). I will do my pilates and yoga today. I will give myself a facial, and try out those new face and body creams I bought yesterday on special. No running round in the car to get groceries or whatever. I will surf the net, work on my new book, I will soak my poor, calloused feet in some soothing bubble bath oil, I will give my hair a treatment. I will write an entry in my diary.
I will also have my favourite drink later, Southern Comfort (best drink to come out of the US!), and not feel guilty about the calories.
I like to get up early while the house is quiet and enjoy having my daily devotions and Bible time.
Other than that I like to go to the gym, take a walk outside, play with my dogs, talk to my family on the phone, surf the net or play internet games, read or watch movies.
As a general rule, we dont get near enough Blessing Days and I try to enjoy mine with everything I have.

MMMMmmm I love me days!
For my me days I:
Sleep in
Get up and drink coffee while surfing the net
Go to a fancy yoga studio for some hot yoga
Go get my hair cut and colored(soo much fun trying new styles)
Go browse the bookstore for a new find while sipping another Starbucks coffee
Go back home and put on my comfy clothes ( Lululemon pants and hoodie)
Put on a moisturizing face mask treatment
Buy myself a 6 pack of beer which I will drink most of while cooking a luxurious meal and the settle in on the sofa with a blanket to watch movies while I eat my dinner.
Go to bed when I want to and get up when I want to. Watch what I want on TV, No freakin cartoons! Read a new book after spending the entire day at Barnes and noble drinking cappuchinos at starbucks and eating a huge gooey pastrie with nuts on it and then to to a restaurant and order the biggest lobster I see. And take tiny, tiny bites of it so it will last longer. And then fall out in my huge kingsize bed covered in my three Dachshunds
I have retired so basically I sleep when I want anyway.
Most of my me days involve staying in my pajamas most of the day and doing whatever I feel like: reading, trash tv, surf the web, try a new recipe, sit on the back deck with something cold in my hand...just depends.
