I accomplished my every planned objective for this weekend; which makes me realize:

[Aristus]

I need a weekend devoid of objectives to accomplish...

[Neoma]

1. My objective was to level up a videogame character.

I have accomplished that task.

[Aristus]

2. I need a weekend objective like that...

Glad you accomplished yours...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Good for you, my dear Aristus!

Yes, you certainly do need a weekend devoid of objectives!

Of course, you do realize that that sort of weekend is also an objective.....

[Aristus]

4. True, CalPeg.

But I want to be able to come to the end of a weekend of having done nothing but lounge around in my pajamas, and say: "Yep. Got everything on my list done this weekend"...

[Neoma]

6. I've had too many days like that.

Trust me, activity makes you feel better and makes for better memories than just lounging around the house.

Learning and working has to outweigh laziness, or we're all doomed to die in our trashed up planet.

... That didn't mean to come out like a speech.

[Aristus]

7. Oh believe me, learning and working are inescapable in my profession.

After the work-week I put in at clinic, I just need the weekends to chill a little. And even on the slowest weekends, I still put in some journal reading and continuing education.

Funny you should mentioned our trashed-up planet; I just re-watched "WALL-E" today, and downloaded the end-credit's song, Peter Gabriel's "Down To Earth", to my iPod.

8. Watch, "Bag It."

The most depressingly influential movie to make you try to stop using plastic.

[Aristus]

9. Thanks for the recommendation.

I always use (and re-use) canvas bags for grocery shopping, so I can skip the depressing stuff. Anything inspiring about the movie?

[Neoma]

10. That it's proven once again that other countries have it better in some ways.

[panader0]

5. I think you need more objectives

Just jealous 'cause I didn't accomplish mine. Too f'ing hot around here lately.......

[Kali]

13. no shit, huh?

my hair is getting mildewed from constantly dunking my head trying to stay cool

wet towel on the foot of the bed plus a fan blowing over it helps. No AC here.

[fizzgig]

11. rewarding but exhausting

i didn't get much done on my days off other than go into work for a few hours both days

[Aristus]

14. Um...fizz?...

I don't think you understand the concept of 'a day off'; if you go in to work, then it's not a day off...

Take a real day off!

[fizzgig]

15. i may very well have most of next week off

and i'm going to try for a three day weekend this weekend, so it will more than balance out.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

12. Some days my only objective is to polish my nails.

I try to keep my goals manageable.

watering my plants outside takes about thirty minutes.
