For the first time in ten months, the fact that it’s the weekend means something. While I worked hard to keep celebrating Saturday and Sunday’s arrival during my period of unemployment, in reality there wasn’t anything particularly that set those days apart for me personally.

But now I’ve put in four long days of meetings and learning and getting up in the morning and putting on dress clothes, so I deserve the next two days. I’ve earned them.

As such, I hope to:

• Watch the Nationals play.
• Put in some time in the garden.
• Attend my teammate’s housewarming brunch.
• Bake. (So I don’t show up to the former activity empty-handed.)
• Stay up late for Art All Night.
• Celebrate the Kennedy Center’s new expansion at the Reach Festival.
• Finish my shawl.
• Read.
• Wash the kitchen floor.
• Sleep. (I. am. so. tired. Good night!)

How about you? What are you hoping this weekend includes?
