As a “hired gun” computer programmer … paid by the hour… for almost 35 years … I have long had a relationship with the value of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot make more time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think about time a lot as in: did I finish a task timely, billable time, should I do something myself or hire it done … i.e. where is my time best spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I consider myself VERY fortunate that because I DO make my living on the clock, I am VERY aware of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is much of my time that I wish I’d spent more wisely!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But … here we are: September 4, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six weeks ago, I planned on taking this week through the holiday weekend off. I planned on doing a number of late summer\/early fall\/pre-winter chores as well as FINALLY doing some video learning\/editing. But, over the past three weeks, I took some days off here and there and some priority tasks and ultimately I am taking a 4.5 day long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And even though, not quite what I’d planned, I started my off time yesterday (Thursday) afternoon with my work task list at a point that allows me to take these days with NO worries about how I’ve left things work-wise. That has rarely happened when I’ve taken time off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So … my enjoyment of yesterday afternoon and today (Friday) has been immense!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, there is the pretty stuff done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile … baking projects, a furniture item assembly, a few chores … and who knows what else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is Friday evening and I am in full staycation mode! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

… BUT WAIT!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Honestly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forecast goes from HOT (Saturday-Sunday) to COLD (Monday-Tuesday) and you cannot see extended, but there is a rebound to 80’s … Holy Darn Cow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
