Every 6 weeks, I schedule a 4-day weekend for myself to help decompress, detach, and destress from work. This long weekend will be busier than I’d prefer, but I’m still planning to get some me-time in. On the might-do list:

• 💇 get a haircut
• 🍜 treat myself to lunch
• 📖 go to the park and read a book
• 💉 take me and my kids to get our flu vax and covid boosters
• 🧘 yoga
• 🪴 gardening (including weeding, pulling out last of summer crops, and mulching)
• 🎧 catch up on podcasts
• 🎄 design the family holiday card
• 🪱 watch Dune
• 🎵 listen to Sufjan Stevens’s latest album
• 🍪 make snickerdoodle cookies
