Can it really be called a "day off" .....

Can it really be called a "day off" when you work as hard on that day off as you would have if you had been at work??? Today was one of those days....I took an "official" day off because I had a meeting with Mike Vollmer, the City Manager, Larry Riner, the assistant City Manager and Chief Smith, the police chief. We were meeting to start finalizing some of the "stuff" for the Wall visit. Well.......that visit resulted in my going to the school board to find out who was in charge of the maintenance department so they could help with the lighting of The Wall....that visit resulted in a call to the school board electrictian...which resulted in all of us meeting in the middle of the practice field...right where I was suppossed to be taking a day off from! However, I did get alot done and that was well worth the effort. I also went to the county clerk's office and signed another piece of paper in the divorce process that I didn't want to sign, but have no other option. I also went walking for about a mile and a half this evening. That really felt good. I have had so many late meetings recently that I have had to shorten the length of my walks. I can feel both a physical and a mental difference when I don't get to walk every day. One day at a time...one step at a time sure can change a person.
