Who doesn’t love the weekend? It’s an opportunity to unwind from whatever the previous week brought and recharge for the next. I especially love Sundays because of that special Sunday sleep right after lunch. That sleep is therapeutic. Saturdays, on the other hand, can be tricky.

No matter how hard I try to get a full weekend of rest, I just never seem to get that. Before now, Saturdays used to be free for me since I was a child and would sometimes be dropped off with family friends to enjoy the weekend. It usually was a fun-filled day. Now those kind of days seem like they happened centuries ago. Now I’m all grown up and realistically speaking, a perfect Saturday won’t be spent in a park completely. here’s what a perfect Saturday should look like for me:
There’s a short form fantasy answer and a long slightly realistic one. In short, I would really appreciate a day ALONE at a 5-star hotel with assorted fancy meals, Netflix and electricity
No Events:
The world has somehow managed to steal Saturdays especially in this part of the world. Weddings, and every other kind of event outside work falls on Saturday, and people complain that their weekends are short. It has to be because eventually we only have Sunday to rest. A perfect Saturday should be a Saturday I spend time on myself and my family.
Getting Set for the next week:
As much as I would love to use my Saturdays resting, I wouldn’t want to fantasize too much. A great Saturday will be spent grocery shopping and preparing for the next week’s meals and whatever needs to be prepped. Ideally, this activity should begin on friday, so I can have ample time for other things. Once that’s sorted, I would like to spend some hours for personal care such as my hair, nails. Hopefully the children will be at their grandparents’ so I can do all of these things. Once I’m back home and I am able to do some cleaning and sorting ingredients for the weeks cooking, I can enjoy a hot bath, with scented candles all over the house.
Some Romance could come in too:
A night out with my husband would absolutely be a welcome idea. We could go on a date in a Cinema, or just do something romantic and fun together.
A perfect Saturday for me though, is really getting ready for another week. If my home isn’t in order before Monday, the entire week becomes chaotic. As much as I would like to spend a whole day in a fancy hotel, I wouldn’t want to go back home to meet reality in the form of a week-long list of chores I’ll have to struggle to get done during the week.
This sounds so amazing , Ive been married for 25 years , raised 6 kids , and now raising 2 grandkids , my husband and I have never been on a date , We barely have alone time , this would be so great ! but Our 2 grandkids are 6 & 13 so it Might be a while ! Love your ideas !
Oh wow! You Definitely need some time alone! So happy to hear of marriages lasting this long. You give me so much hope!
I’m glad you enjoyed reading. Thanks for stopping by.
I wanted to say you should carry me along but I remembered you're married. Hope you get to get your wishes fulfilled 😂
LOL, Ka na so a sake ni?
Ba na jin hausa 😜
Gaskiya kam, I can see that😂
😂
I'm serious though, just learning, came the KD two years ago for an induction. North is beautiful, served in Kebbi
Oh wonderful. I didn’t even know you’re in KD! This is awesome! You’ll learn Hausa eventually, it’s not that difficult
I'm not in KD O, just came around briefly but North is a cool place for me, I miss North.
Ya yali?
Hi @threedotz it's a pleasure to be here.
Sometimes less is more. By this I mean that sometimes giving freedom to desires with unplanned ideas, generate the best moments.
Happy week 🤗✨
Hmmm that makes sense, might try it out one Saturday, and hope my week doesn’t get messed up. Thank you
Ah, but you forgot to mention that part of the 5 star retreat would also include an all expense paid maid to take care of the chores at home! Then you'd be free!
Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day! I hope you get a version of whichever Saturday you want and need soon. Take care! !LADY
