I need a week in which the most complicated things I do outside of work are cooking and laundry. Last week was last week, and this week I had the refrigerator shuffle, I have a follow-up eye appointment tomorrow and a haircut on Saturday. I think maybe next week is going to be the week of not dealing with things if I don't absolutely have to. I need to stop having to keep track of where I have to be, when, and how long it's going to take me to get there, and whether I need to do anything about it beforehand. Failing actual vacation, a week without that stuff is as close to recharging as I'm going to get. Not that I want to lounge around and have people peel grapes for me; I don't mind running errands once a week or so, but I really would like to quit rushing around like mad for a while.

Work involves a certain amount of rushing around, of course, but at least I get paid for that, and I expect it.
