Yes! The last day of work before I have an entire week off. It's been a while since I had more more than 2 days off (the last time was when I got sacked about a year ago, so that one doesn't really count). Not that I'm complaining, since it was a conscious decision to earn more money as a temp as opposed to having time off. Now that I am contracted, it would just be plain stupid not to take some time off, since I get paid anyway.

The last couple of weeks especially has been a huge drain on me mentally, and I desperately needed some long-overdue quality time with me, myself and I to recharge those batteries. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on my reading, since for 2006 I'm actually behind my not-so-ambitious schedule of reading at least a book a month on average (I know, a terrible score for someone who presumedly loves to read). And who knows, I might actually even do some writing.
