Saturdays

Today is Saturday. I don't know about you, but these days always present a challenge to me. Do I play catch-up, or do I relax? Do I go out with my friends or stay at home like a hermit? This Saturday is especially challenging because I just dropped off a friendship team from Pella, Iowa this morning, so I need a break. However, I have also been fantasizing about cleaning my house. And there are some work things that I let pile up while I was with the team. Of course, there's the ever-present list in times of boredom that runs through my head as well, with things like writing thank-you notes, catching up on blog posts, emailing friends, or turning an extra bedroom into a full-out prayer room. And of course, the siren-call of Netflix is always strong.

What to do with a whole day? Well, thus far I have watched some Netflix, cleaned half of my house, unpacked half of my stuff from the trip with the team, and made attempts at catching up with some people. Maybe by the end of the day I'll have completely finished some things... or maybe not. Since it's Saturday, I think I'm okay with just letting myself not really get anything done while still making a start on a lot of things. The added bonus is that it's a long weekend for me, so I don't have to go back to work until Wednesday. Long list, here I come.
