Rules For A Day Off? You Read Right!

Honesty time!

I've been depressed over the past few days. I know, almost certainly, that it is a combination of hormones (yup, it's That Time), exhaustion (mental and physical) from work, and frustration with feeling stuck in/with things I don't like but can't change.

That's just background, really, to explain Ryan's rules for me today on my day off:

[o] There will be three meals. Breakfast is done, and he's in charge of dinner, but lunch WILL involve some kind of protein, a fruit or vegetable, and no grease or sugar.
[o] I will do something productive for two hours or so, if only because I am unable to have an "unproductive" (by my definition) day without feeling like I wasted the day.
[o] I will spend at least two hours doing something purely relaxing. This can be photography, reading a book, watching TV or a movie, whatever, as long as it's completely relaxing.

So, my plan for the day: Ryan works from 3:30 to 8:30. When he leaves, I grab my laptop and head for 933, where I will poke at novels and have a protein plate and a delicious drink and see awesome people I haven't really seen in quite a while. Around 6 or so, I come back home and either read with music in the background, or watch some Glee or My Cousin Vinny or something else silly and fun. When Ryan gets home, there will be a delicious dinner and socializing.

Wish my luck!
