If you’re serious about your work, you may find yourself forgetting to enjoy the perks of working from home. I know I sometimes forget to take some extended time off for play. I take lots of small breaks every day – lots more than I would at one of those j-o-b-s I used to work at. But I rarely take hours off at a time during the day. Once in a while though, we all need to remember that being our own boss means we can take a weekend break in the middle of the week. Today’s my day.

We’re heading out to the Gulf Coast to play in the casinos, eat some casino buffet food, and do a little outlet shopping too. I love gambling, but I never spend more than $20-$40, so there’s no chance of losing much. Of course, there’s very little chance of winning much either! But that’s ok. I’m there for the experience of the flashing lights and pretty colors.

So if you haven’t taken some extended time for yourself lately, try to schedule some in. It will clear the brain and allow you to refocus when you return.

See y’all tomorrow! Wish me luck!
