I have had mixed feelings about 3 day weekends during my married life.  I say 'married life' because I figure that before I was  married it was another life, kind of like a pre-existence.  So 42 years and counting is where I measure things from.  Often 3 day weekends weren't anything special because the Monday was almost always some kind of a work day.  Oh, the courts and things were closed so there wasn't pressure to be out and about but I could just stay at home and piddle around in the office and call it work.  Then other times we would do things with family or friends.  But this coming 3 dayer is nice because I really just want to spend time alone, just  me and Sheila.  It might not happen just that way, but there is a good chance that it will.  We might just rent a bunch of movies and lounge around all day watching them.  I will work some tomorrow to try and get caught up so I won't have any work to do come Monday too.  I have already started to get the good 3-day feeling tonight.  And it includes being able to sleep in some on Saturday, Sunday (because our choir has taken the summer off) and then again on Monday.  I have some subjects that I want to do some in depth studies on during my down time.  One is the subject of what I feel with Doug mission call.  It has brought some ideas to me that I want to understand better.  We siblings got together this evening for dinner at Rafael's and it was good.  Doug will be a good mission president.  I wonder what our next three years will bring to us.  We know that this year will bring 2 more special grand children, but there are a lot of other things out there.  Sure, a lot are for our kids and grand kids, but I have written off my (our) 'impending' and I just feel that there is something coming that I feel will be good and even wonderful.  (Maybe it's just the next 3 days that will be good and wonderful, and after that, who knows?
