Yesterday was my first complete, 100% day off from everything in months. It was AWESOME. I stayed in pjs, I cleaned my house (no longer hoarder-esque), I played video games, watched T.V., did laundry, made dinner...I feel so productive but yet relaxed. And, it's really nice to have a tidier, cleanish home. I also got 7 more stamps for the Tourism Challenge on Sunday, after an off-leash workshop I attended. The lame thing about Sunday though was being outside in pouring rain. I love my umbrella but it can only do so much and I was soaked. It was worth it though because now I still have a full week to just get 2 more stamps to qualify for the free pass again which is easy to do. There were also some amazing displays at the Vancouver Art Gallery and Bill Reid Gallery. At VAG, on the 2nd floor, is a show on hip-hop and First Nations culture. It was really interesting, lots of music stations and video installations. I hope I can get back there to see it again in more depth before it's over. The Bill Reid Gallery had a portrait display of Haida elders. It was really quite moving. There is less than 40(?) elders left that are fluent in their language, which is really sad. However, many of them are teaching the younger people so hopefully they won't be the last.
I do have to go back to office work today though, but I feel like I can almost handle it. Off tomorrow, but it will be a full dog-day so still busy. I guess I should leave soon...But, not much motivation to work with. Oh well.
