Yesterday was my first Tuesday without classes since the term is over.

Since February, I have been awake at 5:45 am and home by 7 pm. There was class at 8 AM, a huge break until 1245, then another break until 4. I couldn’t go home in between because the drive from college was 2 hours each way.

This time, I made sure to relax often with shows and take time to hang out with the cats and my dog, Jax.

But I noticed that I felt the need to stay busy while watching shows. My mind wanted to put away laundry, clean dishes, work on wedding things, or do homework/study for finals.

It can be difficult to do absolutely nothing on days off.

When my mind knows during the day, I was often filling the time by completing busy work.

At night after work, it is a lot easier to relax and do nothing.
