Since retiring, I've felt 'out of the stream' - not that I was ever much in the stream! I want to find a way of making weekends different, so the weeks don't run into each other. I decided to do several things which others might find useful: I would be interested in your weekend activities too.
1. as I eat home-cooked in the week, I'm going to buy ready-made at weekends. Also, treats I 'shouldn't' eat because of my type 2 diabetes
2. inspired by the lovely Beltane flower-strewn table leveller61 I'm going to decorate my tray/ table with flowers - real if I have them or artificial
3. as often as I can, I will stay in my PJ's all day. Luckily my garden is secluded, so I can even garden in my undress!
4. I'll stay in bed as long as I want - especially if my arthritis is particularly painful and not feel I 'ought' to be doing something. No chores at weekends!
Perhaps we all need to look after ourselves more, doing what makes us comfortable and happy, rather than worrying about always appearing 'conventional'. What do you think?
