your mind is not your friend

I had today off because my company's days off are based on federal holidays - I'm still not totally on board with that because I would rather have a couple of extra days off around 4th of July or Christmas instead of random Mondays, but it's better than nothing. However, I wonder if my work days usually look lazy from the outside, because [censored] didn't realize until almost 3pm that I had the day off. This despite the fact that I wore sweats the whole time, sat around doing v. little, and took a walk and did some outdoor / next door tasks in the middle of the afternoon. I know my work process looks odd to people who are used to having set times in office (and this has been true whether I work at a corporate job or am writing), but I didn't realize it looks like I'm not working at all.

Anyway, my day was fine - I didn't get as much done as I had intended to, but perhaps I needed the day to be mostly chill. [Censored] left around his usual time, and I spent the rest of the afternoon / evening messing around, eating leftovers, writing a bit, listening to music, etc. And now I'm going to read a bit and try to go to bed early (for me) so that I can reset for the week ahead. Goodnight!
