Since the end of May, with the exception of one random Saturday, this is the first Saturday that I don’t have set plans. I don’t have to be ANYWHERE. Do you have any idea how good it feels? That means that of the last 15 Saturdays, 14 of them meant I had plans with a friend/friends. I could feel it starting to wear on me. Yes, I generally have Sundays to do whatever I please, but it just doesn’t hold the same as a Saturday. On Sundays I wake up early and go to church. Sometimes I go to my parents’ house after and visit with them, and other times I come home and do laundry and general cleaning. So to me, while it can be a day of rest, it isn’t the same as taking a Saturday to do nothing. The idea of not having any commitments to be anywhere is so freeing. Yes, I probably upset some people today by turning down plans. I could’ve had day plans with two different people, and night plans with another. But I had to hold my ground and tell them that I was sorry, but I basically needed a mental health day. And for this mental health day I am grateful.
