A nothing weekend?
Here I am, on the cusp of a nothing weekend. I have nothing planned today, although I’m considering the opportunity to go down to Chicago tonight and go out in Wrigleyville with a friend of mine in from out of town. Tomorrow is a special partnership celebration for work, and other than that I’m free as a bird.
This is a strange feeling for a go-go-go person. Especially over the past few months, I’ve forgotten how important it is to take time to just sit still, to just be.
So instead, I’m going to clean up the apartment a bit, make a light lunch and head out to the park with the iPod to catch up on my reading. And I’m looking forward to it.
