Mental Health Day

Took today off. It was awesome. Slept late, made breakfast, went back to bed till noon, watched TV (First Dates), ate cereal, made brownies (still baking them), reading some good graphic novel, colored my hair pretty purple. Love that I planned my day off in advance, that I am not on bus duty or working with super needy fragile kids, so I don't feel guilty not being there, and that none of my coworkers seemed to give a shit that I was taking a day for no special reason. Although it is special to me, and I really did need it. Even though work isn't highly challenging every day, it does take a bit of mental and physical energy and I really needed a day to not stress about anyone but myself and sort of relax and re-group. I still want to and intend to transcribe notes I made because some of them are rather insightful and personally interesting, but tonight I am just stopping in to say Hello and Goodnight. Peace.  "The Doctor: Run like hell, because you always need to. Laugh at everything, because it's always funny. Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends..."

This Doctor didn't say that quote, but it's a great picture!
