On an average Tuesday, my “plans for the day” would normally be work, so if I woke up and found out that I was off for the day, at the last minute, I’d probably take the opportunity to do some stuff around the house. Cleaning, organizing, that kind of thing. Maybe I’d get restless later in the day and go out for some food shopping or something like that, depending on what was in the house. If the weather was nice, I might spend the day on the deck with computer, magazines, book, phone and water.
Not the most exciting day but knowing I have to go to work on Wednesday would probably prevent me from doing anything big with my new found day off. Also, presuming I have to pick up my daughter at after-school care by 6:30, I would probably not want to venture too far because having to pick her up would be like a clock hanging over my head.
If I’d have known I was going to be off and so could plan it, I might plan to go to an art museum that’s about an hour away. I went there about two months ago with my daughter and we had a really nice time. I’d like to go again (I signed up as a member so I can go as often as I’d like for a year) and explore it some more.
