I’m not complaining.
Last year for spring break we drove to Florida and took a million boat rides and saw a billion alligators and crocodiles. The sun was shining and it was warm.
It snowed here yesterday – and the sun does not seem to make it warm.
I’m not complaining.
I’d like to tell my pre-spring break self that being on spring break does not suddenly turn me into a person who likes to make phone calls and go to the UPS store. So, that long list of things to accomplish? Um…
Why are there so many phone calls on my to do list?
I’m not complaining.
I’d like to cross off more on that to do list. So I better add some things to help myself out.
Paint the basement
Drink hot cocoa and read a book
Take the dog to his favorite store for birthday treats
Play with the cats
Do the dishes a hundred thousand times
Play the piano
Take a nap
I’m not complaining.
Bored, weary, restless, yes.
But, I am not complaining.
On a Thought 
“I’d like to tell my pre-spring break self that being on spring break does not suddenly turn me into a person who likes to make phone calls and go to the UPS store.” This made me laugh out loud. Brilliant.
It can be tricky to know what to do when you’re on a much deserved break! Vacations are so lovely but it can also be fine to just let yourself relax. The to-do list does not need happen every day of your spring break. You are allowed to not cross things off at all even. Again it is a much deserved break 🙂
I need to follow your example. I’m at the beach with the red tide so I’m not and the beach but I’m not complaining. Enjoy the rest of break. The UPS store can wait.
I get it. Midwinter in Central PA doesn’t always fire you up.
BTW: You wrote, “Why are there so many phone calls on my to do list?” That reminds me, I have a phone call to make. If only I could remember who I am supposed to call…
