How to waste the positive impact of a 3 day weekend

The following is an excellent formula to follow if you want to have a productive, but overall enjoyable and relaxing 3 day weekend, and yet still start the week tired and groggy.

Day 1 - Spend most of the day at a family picnic, return at a reasonable hour, go to bed at a normal hour

Day 2 - Wake up at normal weekend hour, after about 8.5 hours of sleep. Spend most of the day working around the house, take a quick to nap recover, enjoy a relaxed evening, go to bed at a normal hour

Day 3 - Wake up at normal weekend hour, after about 8 hours of sleep. Go to church in the morning. Take an unplanned 2 hour nap while watching sports in the afternoon, go hang out with friends in the evening. Go to bed at normal weeknight hour. Lay in bed wide awake for 3 hours.

First day back to work - Wake up 20 minutes before normal 5:30 am alarm, after about 4 1/2 hours of sleep. Get up, shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, take dog out, catch bus, get to work, fight sleep for the first several hours.

So, there you have it. Feel free to copy this and share with friends!

I'm dragging, too, although is probably due to the incidence of sick husband and then sick child.

Yeah, those are legitimage excuses.

Being groggy your first day back at work after a 3 day weekend because you were lazy the day before doesn't really sound good.
