I have been feeling exhausted since months ago. Usually the passion, motivation and progress of work will compensate the physical tiredness. But now I am on the verge of despair because of my continuous failures in my experiments these couple of weeks. Every morning, I have to drag myself out of bed and I am going in to the lab later and later each day. The signs are pretty obvious. I need a break!!! I need time to be revived!!!
This morning, as usual, I had to struggle so hard to get out of bed. All of a sudden there is this 'evil' thought flashing in my mind. Why not taking a day off today? *blink blink* *smart gal*
So once my mind was set not to go to work today, a whole list of to-do things was kind of planned in my mind. These are things that I wanted to do during the past weekends at home, which I never find time doing, such as cleaning up the apartment, reading, updating the blogs (especially converting the old stuff written ages ago into the electronic format), take an afternoon nap ex cetera.
Please do not be too surprised if I tell you that at the end of the day, I barely accomplished anything from the to-do list. Reasons? Blame the time, one day is just too short, I need another day off! Holiday is never enough! *lol* Nah, I am sure you know the actual reason, it is procrastination!
When it is a day off, it is not meant to be a heavy load day anyway. I should not rush myself to achieve too many things in a day. It is a day for me to relax and do things that I want.
I am glad that my impromptu idea of taking a day off makes me feel better. I won't say I am fully revived. But at least it is nice to be away for a while from the messy work and the workplace I go in each day (seeing the fact I do work on the weekends sometimes). It is even a more pleasant feeling to be able to spend my time doing something that I longed for or better still, doing nothing.
After all, today went pretty well for me, at least I washed the bathroom, mopped the floor, took an hour's nap in the afternoon (although I was trying to get more sleep than this) and most importantly babbled with my sis, who is ten thousand miles away from me. That was one of the best reviving medicines I have ever had. *grin*
