day 22: treat yo'self

I began teaching my grad school class for the second time three weeks ago. Last time I taught it, class was on Thursday evenings. Now, it's on Tuesdays. This little change has really taken a toll on me. Before, I would only have one day to go after an evening of teaching - now I have three. I've been so extra tired the last few weeks and so this weekend, I did a lot of nothing so I could get to feeling back to my old self!

Saturday
I stayed in my pajamas until like 4:00. I did laundry while I planned a little for Tuesday's class. I also had a Taylor Swift biography on that was pretty good.

Hektor came home from playing basketball and we went to lunch at this little place by his house - Snappy's Shrimp. It's two blocks away from home, so it was nice to get out of the house for a late lunch. (Catfish was good!) Then we walked to the grocery store to get some things for dinner and then went home and relaxed some more. I watched a super funny movie and went to bed at like 10. It was ah-MAZE-balls! :-)

Sunday
Woke up and had a nice breakfast and then went for a massage. I told the guy that I had been really stressed and carried it all in my shoulders, and he did some work there. I'm kinda sore actually, but it was good. I ended up buying a six month package, which I wasn't expecting to do, but oh well. I like it and life's too short, right?

If that weren't enough, I then went for a mani-pedi. Yep, you heard right...more things for myself. I've been needing this for a long time; my nails were in a bad place and one of my bffs, if she had seen them, would have given me an earful. Now they are nicely manicured and I didn't even screw up my nails. (Okay, well maybe one, but last time it was 7 that got smudged right after!!)

I did go grocery shopping, but I still need to prep salads for the week, but first, I'm going to take a bath and read something wonderful.

I guess it was all about myself this weekend, and I'm glad I spent the time to relax and now feel much better going into a long week.

Two weeks till spring break and then this...


What did you do this weekend?

  4. Love this! I did too much! So...I'm going to go easy on myself this week. My Chicago daughter took a bubble bath and went to the gym and took more than a few naps! I lived vicariously through her!

  5. I'm melting into my couch as I'm reading your slice. A massage AND a mani-pedi?!? Siiiigh. I'm asking for the ultimate, the mother-of-all pedicures for Mother's Day. I want to relax for an hour, let the tension go, and get my toes painted. Thank you for this blissful post. :-)

  7. It is so important to take time for yourself! I've been working nights and weekends for school lately too and it is exhausting! I laid low this weekend and got a massage as well. I'm hoping this low key weekend will revive me for the few weeks before Spring Break!
