It's a Me Day

Me day, as defined by Urban Dictionary:

Jeff worked 50 hours this week... so on his day off he decided to have a Me day.

 I declared today a "me day".  This morning after all the duties had been done to get everybody out the door, I turned to my husband and said OUTLOUD that I was going to make today about myself.  Self care, they say, is essential.  I'll buy that for a dollar.  So, I put a little more creamer in my coffee, spent a little more time indulging in my iPad games and social media, and stayed in pajamas.  I run 3-4 miles about 4 times a week and I was going back and forth about going out today, but I was inspired by a recent conversation I had about AvaLanche.  AvaLanche, is my treasured Roller Derby identity.  Long since retired, but still in love with the sport, and truth be told you never really leave.  So I decided to skate my run today.  After all, it's a "me day" and skating is FUN!  Best. Decision. Ever.  Mind you, I was rusty and played it safe by sticking around my nicely paved neighborhood.  Definitely reminded me that skating is a lot of work and I loved it!  Oh yea, that's why I was in the best shape of my life in derby.  Anyways, super sweaty and tired muscles and I feel like me again. 

If you have been feeling like you're on a hamster wheel, I highly recommend a "me day".  Maybe even just a "me morning".  Try to remember things that make you tick that you don't get to do everyday and go do that.  It's good.  Mine isn't event halfway done and I already feel like I have shed the shroud of monotony.  So dramatic, I know.  Let the reminders lead you somewhere fun.  It's worth it.  Now, I'm gonna binge watch something on Netflix.
