They give you the opportunity to do what you never can in your daily humdrum lives. Well, maybe not humdrum when you consider all that gets done in the course of a regular work week, dealing with people's lives, crises, lack of sleep, library under renovation.... and all the regular things thrown in, with cooking and cleaning and washing and dealing with leaking bathrooms, moving out, and so on and so forth.
Ah! What I would do on a break! When one is working 7 days a week, that seems like a luxury that is too tempting to think of. Maybe I could sleep in late and make my own breakfast. Bread lightly toasted...lots of cheese on it. Maybe a fried egg, some baked beans, sausages would be nice... :) A hot cup of green tea with a dash of honey to wash it all down! Hmm... all about food? Maybe I could have this meal in the company of a friend, or if not, have it while watching a nice light-hearted show which would help me relax.
Confession: I have had to take a break from talking about breaks! This is being continued almost a whole month later! I think that just thinking about a break is good enough. let me break this up then, and continue on my wishlist of breaks once i have more time.
... to be continued...
