canyonwalker | My Day Off: 3.5/4

Today I had the day off from work. It's actually my first day off, other than holidays, since the start of the year. And technically it wasn't even a day off. I mean, it wasn't PTO. It was a comp day; in exchange for working last weekend. My first actual PTO of the year is planned for April.

Well, however I classify it, I did set some goals for this day off. Last night I told myself that today I would:

Sleep in a bit
Soak in the hot tub in the morning
Do a shopping run to Costco
Finish my taxes

So, how did I do? I'm going to give myself a 3.5 out of 4.

I did sleep in a bit. I slept in 'til 7:45am. That hour may not seem like "sleeping in" to you, but given how I've been waking up anywhere between 4:30 and 6:15am most of the past week-plus, I'm happy with it.

I totally soaked in the hot tub this morning. I even coaxed my spouse to join me.

Shopping run at Costco? Check. We even spent over $300 there. That seems like it should be a triple check. Like, extra credit.

Finish my taxes? Enh. I really shouldn't have written finish as the goal. There's no timeline in which I would have expected to finish them today. Get them mostly done? Get my federal taxes mostly done? Sure. But I did write "finish", so that's what I'm going to score myself against. Half credit.

Now all I've got to do is figure out what to do with my regular weekend. Other than try to finish my taxes, that is. 😅

Update: I finished (er, "finished") my taxes on Saturday!
