Is it Monday? Again?

I do not know about you but to me it feels like it was just Monday yesterday, and I am now looking at Monday again! Is it me? Or days just appear to roll into what seems like hours lately?

Every week on Friday, we are all so excited because the weekend is finally here and we can now embark on all the fun activities that give us pleasure. In my case, reading, dancing, web surfing, cooking and sometimes doing nothing at all.

This weekend it was more doing nothing at all, than anything else because last week was spent sitting in on sessions at a conference hall listening to SMEs instruct us in all the good stuff we ought to know to conduct our jobs in a more efficient manner; don’t get me wrong I learned a lot and I enjoyed the conference, but all I wanted to do when I came home on Friday was sleep! I am not sure why but that is what my body has been craving for the last two days and for some reason that got my creative juices going and now you are the recipient of my words, lol!

Each time I made an attempt at true productivity lat week, I fell asleep. So rather than fight the urge I gave in to it. On a couple of ocassions, I reached for the Kindle in an attempt to catch up on my readings, to no avail. The magazine stack remained untouched. Finally, after a good 45-minute nap I was back on track and my creativity was awaken. I shall begin advocating for nap time at work from now on. Do you believe I will succeed? Hope so, wish me luck. Lol!

The weekend is over, again!

Summer reads


I’ve been home all week taking a break from work. During this time I tried to do as little as possible; no housework for sure, and just about enough cooking to pass inspections from the hubby. You know what I mean, the “You mean you’ve been home all day, and did not cook dinner?” looks. I did manage to get some laundry done here and there, but mostly I vegged out, and rightly so I need some rest!

Because my job entails a lot of reading and writing (grants) I tend to crash out whenever I can. So this week, I decided to catch up on my personal collection of reading materials. Not only do I have a stack of magazine subscriptions, Shape, Fitness, Essence, Time… to read, I also have a downloaded mini-collection of books on my Kindle which are begging for attention. My Blackberry has the Kindle app downloaded to it, so “it” gets more action for reading, just because we are so attached at the hip (according to my hubby)  LOL!

This morning for whatever the reason, don’t ask me why I visited the Kindle store, looking for another book to read. I think it’s because I go back to work on Monday to face fifty (50) little summer campers who will be ready to tear the place down, and I am thinking… escape! Reading does that for me, and I had a brilliant idea: download suitable books for the campers to read on their Kindles and perhaps, maybe, we will be able to craft a couple of quality reading hours for the children–and some peace and quiet for me during summer camp, yeah!!! Am I brilliant or what?!

That’s what I am talking about!!!
