I really like the idea of scheduling something to look forward to during the week! It is easy to look forward to the weekend, but the weekdays need a little positive attention too. I've gone back to leisure reading, which I have missed out on for many years because I have been focused on reading self-development books. Which certainly have their place in the regular rotation, but there is something so relaxing about knowing that for the next hour or two, I am going to be doing nothing but immersing myself in another world.
I love your approach to the days of the week. I typically struggle with Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I like this tact and I'm gonna try it.
Also, the abdominal snowman. Ha. : )
Also, also, I love your bravery (yes, to me) of organizing a meet up. That to me is something scary -- because what if no one shows up. But you showed up! With a smile and a pint and a no problem if no one else came and I aspire to that!
On Mondays, I’ve the the Spotify Discover Weekly playlist, so I know I will be hearing some new music and at least a couple of the songs will be really good. I don’t need it to be a big thing – just something to look forward to.
It turned out that a couple hours with nothing to do felt really nice. And I think there will be at least three people besides me at the March hangout.
I’m happy to hear your good report and see your pic with a pint. I wish I could join the group in Wales one night and tip a glass to Forest 🌳. I have chosen it to accompany my early rising for 2 years. My vision has been expanded in ways so enjoyable.
I love sundown Friday through sundown Saturday. Many years ago I chose this time to unplug. I cook Friday morning so I don’t have to Saturday. I prepare meals for a few days and love the time spent creatively cooking. My family calls me Chef and I love that nickname. I turn on the tunes and groove through the time well spent. Preparation for resting Saturday is rewarding after a long workweek. That’s always how it feels, long. I unwind and reflect on the week, it’s highs, perhaps the difficulties. I relax knowing I can nap, watch a movie, bathe, read, sunbathe and/or listen to the quiet on end. My introvert sucks that up. I recharge on Saturday and have new energy by sunup Sunday. It’s been a good way to live. What is your favorite day or two?
On Fridays, as soon as my day job is done, I’m done working until I write TREE on Saturday afternoon. We have either pizza or burgers (homemade). Then, when the small kid is in bed, Christine and I share some adult beverages and watch a show or two. Last weekend we started This Is Going To Hurt (only on BBC for now). It’s the best TV show I’ve seen, maybe ever.

Also, abdominal snowman is hilarious. ;-)
I love reading a good story. Or listening to one. There are some great drama podcasts out there.

The abdominal snowman made my day!
Im interested in how you don’t struggle with Mondays! What are you or secrets? Haha!
