The phone rang at 8:00 a.m. yesterday morning and it seemed to set the tone for the day. My one and only daycare charge would not be coming before or after school.
By 8:10 a.m., I received a call telling me that there wasn't bookkeeping work available to work on for the day. When I didn't receive a call from my typing job by 9:00 a.m., I officially declared it 'Saturday' in my mind. An unexpected day off.
One day was okay. Because I knew work was forthcoming the next day. By 2:00 yesterday afternoon, I received a call from my typing job and I will be working there this afternoon. When there is no fear of lack of work, it is okay to have an unexpected day off.
I called my sisters and fine tuned some plans that we had been making via email. I received another phone call which changed my Sunday plans. I made plans for a 'sibling gathering' next month; checked into information for a family reunion next year; checked into flights, cruises and I even talked to a cruise specialist for my Alaskan Cruise Dream (then made arrangements to get together with my friend who will be accompanying me, so we can talk about booking something very soon!). Then ... I sent off an email to a new group of friends in hopes of reigniting interest in our 'Friday Night Out With the Girls'.
It was a day of dreaming, planning, communicating and spreading a little bit of excitement back into my world.
It was an 'Accidental Saturday' which I thoroughly enjoyed ... one day early.
