Day of Rest

Today is my first day off from school and work in two weeks.  FINALLY!  I slept in until noon, called my boyfriend just to chat, made some tacos for lunch, and climbed back in bed to play on the computer.
A wise, sensible me would not use this day in such a manner.  There is a dog to clean, a room to straighten, dishes to be washed, laundry to be done, and homework to get knocked out.  I'm just not that wise and sensible.
It's my day off, dammit!  I want to read for fun, write for fun, plan out my NaNoWriMo novel for fun, sleep for fun, watch television for fun, play World of Warcraft for fun, etc.
So often we get caught up in what we have to do.  "I need to go to school, I need to go to work, I need to make some money..."  Sure we do need to do these things, but must they always overshadow our desires?  Do we always need to be 100% responsible?  I say, "No!"
You may think it lazy, but I'm exhausted and don't care at this point.  Taking a break now will make me better able to get stuff done later.
I'm not even sure what I'm writing, or why I'm writing this.  That's OK, though.  I'm just having fun.  FINALLY!
