I couldn't believe myself when I first thought of the "no chore" weekend idea. I didn't really want to do anything...LOL... and then I gave myself permission not too! It felt kind of wrong for a little while, but then it was great!
I forgot that you talked about bacon. After I got off of work and got into the kitchen to see what my supper would be, bacon wasn't part of the prior thoughts, but as I was scouring the frig, I found a whole pack of bacon that indicated tomorrow (now today) was the last day before it's expiration, so I cooked the WHOLE pack! I ate some with supper but most is in the frig and I'm sure it will be part of my breakfast. It will last more than a day now that I've cooked it. Yum !
I think it's important to allow ourselves a little slack now and then, it's sort of like self care I guess. As long as the important things are done we can always catch up on the lesser things. Finding self time, realising we need it, shouldn't make us feel guilty.
What now? A whole pack of bacon? Dang it, that's legit. ✅
It kind of made me laugh to cook the whole pack, but I didn't want to lose it.
I know it is important to take time out, it just felt funny to apply it to the whole weekend. A day? Sure! ...The whole weekend? ... That was a luxury I don't regret.
