This is the kind of weekend that allows a desk laborer to feel like a millionaire.
Waking up to the glow of sunshine in the window.
Gazing outdoors to a faceful of warm breeze.
Settle down in the living room for a bite of breakfast, browsing through the morning news while a ceiling fan circles gently overhead.
Stroll to the car, sliding on the shades against the bright blue sky.
Sixty minute massage.
Start the afternoon with a movie, then off to a late uncrowded lunch with Dena at Chili's with part of the proceeds go to charity.
Amble down the Constitution Trail, taking in a few rays of sunshine while burning of some calories. Each breath brings the aroma of warm earth, fresh cut grass, budding blossoms. Kids playing baseball at the park through the tree cover. Bicycles steered by flip-flopped riders, gliding up and down the pavement.
We drive to Four Seasons and exercise with weights for the first time since the back started healing a couple weeks ago. Shop for a couple clothing items at Kohl's.
Sit out on the sun deck in shorts for a half hour - enough to inaugurate the shiny season to come. Reading up on some ACT prep class material for a fun Thursday evening.
DVR some Law and Order while folding laundry and catching up on some bills.
Pop in a Seinfeld DVD and nod off for an evening nap that ends up stretching all night long. The bliss of an empty schedule. The morning's refreshed and ready for another care free 80 degree sunny day.
Some people aspire to get a bigger office. Me too - the great outdoors!
