The first sound to grace my ears will be the coffee pot gurgling…

While the delectable smell fills the room, the system on my computer begins whirring.

While I sip my first cup of Jo, blended perfectly with cream, I wait for all systems coming on line… both mine and the computers.

With coffee on board I begin my day… but wait… it’s Saturday!

Once this sinks in, everything I thought I needed to get done gets sent directly to MONDAY!

Work gets sidelined but Coffee STAYS…

Whether I feel like walking or not, has now turned into finding an excuse to play hooky and stay in my jammies.

Here is also where I make the crucial decision about food for the rest of the day… do I pull something out of the freezer and plan ahead? Nah… burritos in the microwave for lunch, chips and dip for dinner, and leftover Key lime Pie for dessert, it is! Don’t judge… there is meat and cheese in the burrito, milk in the dip, potato in the chips, and fruit in the Key Lime pie!

Why would I make such choices for myself, you may be asking yourself? Because I can… I’m a grown up… I make big girl decisions every other day of the week… today is GAME day!

On this day I most likely will not be answering my phone, OR walking… nor will I attempt to be grown up or make big girl decisions. Instead I will be adventuring with my cat Brodie, saving poor villagers, plundering all the bad guys chests full of goodies, and buying pretty outfits off the marketplace with my fake riches… it’s satisfying!

Somewhere near the middle of the day my brother-in-law and niece join my hubby and I in a chat room, and in the game. It’s family time that works in our case.

On into the night… through burritos, bad guys, and treasure chests filled with Key Lime Pie we adventure…

Sometimes, after playing all day I will go to bed for the night and dream of either harvesting trees or hunting turkeys for the current events running in the game.

The point is, I take one day a week where I shut everything from the world out and let my heart, mind, and soul simply rest.

Society has spent countless hours, dollars, and time to create a way to recharge actual batteries. It makes them last longer and is useful in saving our ecosystem, our pocketbooks and our energy.

I am doing the same thing but poor man style… I am gonna last longer, my ecosystem will be safe, and while I don’t have any pocketbook to save, I will definitely have more energy…

Here, have a cookie…

There should be enough sugar in here to fuel a couple of Teslas…
