Saturday again. Slept less as didn't get to sleep until much later than usual. Felt fatigued through the day, so didn't get as much done as hoped -- just moving too slowly <smile>. Started laundry and rested for most of afternoon. I got caught up on social media notifications and listened to some recorded TV programs. I thought I might need to drive out to the grocery store, but I managed to find the elusive ingredient needed in the pantry. I was pleased that I didn't need to head out as I wasn't feeling it today. Supper was fun. I made chicken etouffee with a mixture of white jasmine and red cargo rice and served it with a great green salad. That helped to perk me up a bit. Cooking can be therapeutic <smile>.
Spending the day relaxing a bit more than planned was great. The furry fellow took his afternoon siesta leaning against my leg. That helps me relax and stay grounded. Saturday has been a day to wind down for as long as I can recall. When I did shift work, working Saturday disrupted life. Even a different day off during the week just didn't cut it. Social gatherings were often on Saturday for movie nights, dinners, and such, so working an early shift requiring me to be at work for 6 AM meant I was in bed very early. If on the late shift, I didn't get home until 9:30-10 PM, so missed some of the events. Timing was just off all around. If I had an option, though, I'd always choose the late shift. I am not a morning person in and way, shape or form <smile>. In fact, I was born at 12:36 AM -- just after midnight and on a Saturday. So, in my mind, I've always been more active late in the day <grin>.
A song came to mind when pondering today. My first on-screen nick came from the song title. It seemed fitting. Stay safe. Enjoy!
Saturday's Child -- The Monkees
