So, Enjoying Your Long Weekends?

I was texting with BFF yesterday and wondering what I should write about today.  One of the benefits of my job is that when I finish a particularly busy project I am granted a day off, that doesn't count against vacation time.  So, with a busy week and a program at A4's school, I took today off.  Nice to have a day off of work.  Except...

Normally I don't post Stuff I Can't Tell from home.  I do get on to check if anyone has commented (I'd love to hear from anyone about your thoughts, good or bad).  But for the most part, I recognize that Mrs! would not like much of what she finds here, so I try to avoid that conflict.  Not that she really pays much attention to what I'm doing on my computer, but still, better safe than sorry.

But the worst part is that I can't text BFF, nor do we get to talk on the phone in the afternoons.  Long weekends mean three days rather than two that we don't interact.  Two days suck, but three days suck more.  I'm not sure whether being closer, so we actually had face to face interaction on occasion would make this easier or harder.

I do know that before the suicide fight, when BFF and I were much more intimate, these long weekends were miserable.  And Thanksgiving weekend, when I actually had Thursday and Friday off as well, seemed an eternity.  Sometimes we get to chat or talk on the weekend, and that makes it more tolerable, but that is the exception.

And it is frustrating that my weekend, which should be a time of rest and relaxation is actually made into a time of stress and pressure.  Both the lack of interaction with BFF and the close to constant interaction with Mrs! makes it difficult to face.  And my work week, which should be the more tiring and stressful part of my life actually is a benefit because I get time with BFF.  Frustrating.

Next weekend is Memorial Day, so I get Monday off from work.  That means I will have two long weekends in a row.  But we do have a full week between them, so that's five days of BFF before another long weekend.  One day, maybe I'll reach that balance where weekends are fun times again and the work week doesn't provide more entertainment.

Until Next Time,
