First day of not working. Been for a run. Had a leisurely breakfast. Then a swim and now lunch with a beer. Work can wait for two weeks.

I’m currently on a 4 week break from work. This is week 4, and I kind of wish it wasn’t going to end… I’m viewing it a little bit like practice retirement, and so far I’m expecting to enjoy retirement very much!

I’ve had 3 weeks jury duty, 1 weeks leave and 1 week union release it’s like prep 🤣
