Just make it Monday, please

I often dread weekends... this one perhaps a bit more than usual. Today... yes/no decision on funding the Arctic field season at 11am. Then couples-counselling tonight. I wish I'd lined up lunch today, but have been too preoccupied to plan ahead. Tomorrow night... no plans. Some slightly-stressful socializing with the kids in the afternoon. Should have planned ahead, again. Sunday... Father's Day... no plans (sound familiar? heh) other than I need to confront the issues around my father's illness again and give him a call.

Why do other people look forward to weekends? For me, work is generally more satisfying and less stressful... still, three days and it will be over, thankfully.

Can you and Pat go out for dinner and a movie on Saturday night? I think you could use some destress time, and time to focus elsewhere. And ask her to get the kids to do SOMETHING for you on Father's day, even if it's just making breakfast or something silly like that. You need to feel a bit more appreciated that I hear you've been feeling lately.

Use, perhaps, but I don't *need* it. I may go in and work Saturday, just to prove something to myself ;-). And you're sweet for even commenting, considering... thanks. Whatever my feelings are about this weekend (or weekends-in-general) they're my responsibility and mine to address, no one else's... not even Pat and the kids's ;-).
