If today was a skip work day, what would you do? I’d spend the day at the art museum and take myself out to lunch…

It's freezing today, so I would most likely be curled up on the couch with my dogs, watching something on Netflix or reading a book. Cannot wait to do just that after work, might even pair it with some delivery from my favorite Thai place. Spicy food always seems to go well with cold weather.

That sounds lovely. What are you watching on Netflix?

I'd like to take a day and just wander around in bookstores. The problem is that good bookstores are hard to find these days, and I'm not living near any great ones. But a day with no particular goal but bookstore browsing would be a treat. I've just been so busy lately and playing hooky like that would be the greatest.

I love getting lost in a book store. I just encountered a lovely one in Eureka Springs, AK, and spent waaaay too much money in there.

I would take one of those weekday, morning yoga and meditation sessions. Decompress and get my mind an body right :)

Haha! This was on tv yesterday and I’m so glad I took the time to watch it in its entirety… feels like I can never finish a movie these days. Like Ferris said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." 🥹 ain’t that the truth…

Oh, I wish I was exciting enough to skip work and then go do something fun behind my bosses back. I am not that kind of a thrill seeker if I do skip work or take a sick day when I’m not really sick it’s because I’m tired and I just need to catch up on some sleep so I know lame

I wish places were better at offering several mental health/rest days each year….. at least 3 full days. Nothing crazy. It would greatly improve work life balance….
