Yes indeed, I am Totally Glad It's Friday...thank the Lord!!!! This has been an exhausting week, especially at work. I usually work 2 days a week, but this was one of those weeks I had to be here on Friday as well. It was a lonely day, since all my coworkers were gone on vacation and it was just me, myself, and the secretary. Matter of fact, it seems everyone in the world is on vacation this month, except the strange ones--who all had appointments with me!I usually teach about eating for diabetes. I'm an expert at this (so saith the credentialing agency for diabetes educators), so it is relatively routine for me. My clients this week, however, have been anything but routine. I've had to talk about oxalates, purines (does anyone in the real world even know what these are???), and food interactions for heart medications. I've discussed in-depth blood pressure diets, low protein for kidneys, and high protein for malnutrition. I've had babies to 70 year olds, and almost everyone showed up--although not always on time. Due to staff vacations, I wound up doing the nurse's half of diabetic training for several pregnant women. And, in the midst of this, I've had to create from scratch several informational handouts, and actually started a folder at work titled "wacky diets you made need."
What I really need right now is a little less work, and maybe a little more wackiness. Some kind of simple relaxation to defuse, destress, and re-define a new perspective for my weekend. In a brief search for some silly way to accomplish this distraction, I came across the oddest ideas and suggestions. Here's a few you might like to try.
1. Have a pillow fight
2. Change your answering machine message to something strange or silly
3. Watch Lucille Ball in The Long, Long Trailer
4. Play spoons
5. Take up cyber karate
6. Research the geographical distribution of Exit sign colorations
7. Let your dog walk you
8. Learn to do tricks with bubble gum http://tvinjapan.com/blog/2007/11/01/not-exactly-tv-in-japan-amazing-train-station-illusion/
9. Create tree art (this one takes more than a weekend--actually it will take about a decade of weekends!) *see photo above*
10. Create new and interesting road signs. An example: Wizards' parking only. Violators will be toad.
Or, if you have some other suggestions, send your comments along and I'll see what works. In the meantime, TGIF!
