Welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.
It seems that everyone loves the weekend.
What about you?
1. Do you feel happier as the weekend approaches? Just how do you feel about weekends?
I do like weekends and always have. Now that I no longer work the whole week can seem like a weekend.
2. What are your weekends usually like and do you do anything special? Do you attend a church/synagogue?
My weekends are different now that I am by myself. Usually I have people over but lately I have no felt up to it because of my spine but that comes and goes.
Yes, I am religious and have always been.
3. Do you sleep later on the weekend or do you stay up later at all? Are weekends for catching up on sleep?
I used to sleep later on a Saturday when I was younger. I take a nap most days for a couple of hours since my spinal pain has been worse than usual. When I was working full time I was up early for kids and to leave for work. Now I try to sleep later because it just feels so darn nice to stay in bed.
4. Do you read or watch more movies/TV on the weekends or catch up on things missed during the week?
No, Not more. I don't do anything more on the weekends than during the week. I watch a couple of movies and or documentaries during the week and sometimes on Sunday afternoon. I have never been a big TV watcher.
All in all I think weekends are a very positive thing. They provide free time for worship, family time, relaxing time, and time for home projects. Two days off work is wonderful for people to recharge and rest.
Yes, weekends are wonderful for those who work a regular 5 day a week schedule, M-F. My DIL works full time at Home Depot, and unfortunately that means her days are spread out over the week and she has to request a Sunday off, but can't have every one off. So we all are adapting to her schedule if we want to get together and do things. Thankfully, since we are retired, we can be more flexible. And our son is self-employed, so he can also adapt his schedule to meet hers.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was working, I always looked forward to the weekend for buying groceries and just catching up with things. I watch more TV now than I ever did when I was tied to a job. Hope you get to feeling better, too, Annie. I can't imagine living with that chronic back pain. Hang it there!
ReplyDeleteSorry you are having so much spinal pain. Does the cold weather make it worse?
