workaday Wednesday
Apr. 15th, 2026 06:39 amInstead of the office, I'm headed to the car spa today -- time to swap the tires back to summertime! (Better mileage? Quieter? Honestly I'm not sure, but I'm doing it anyway.)
I definitely scheduled it for an office day so I could skip going to the office, BUT also those are the days when I don't have meetings in the morning, so I can easily work from the car spa. So there was a work-benefit reason along with the me-benefit reason.
I am preparing as if for a day-long expedition, although I'm really hoping it only takes an hour. I've got my phone to do my duolingo lessons, my work computer so I can answer emails, my noise-cancelling headphones so I can listen to my audiobook (probably while doing work stuff), plenty of fanfic to read if I need to completely check out, and of course snacks and bevs.
Most importantly, I've promised myself a little treat if I behave myself (ie. definitely don't yell at the employees even if there is a delay, also try not to cry, but that's optional, they have a bathroom for a reason). If the weather is nice: a little walk break on the way home! If the weather is not good for walking: a little trip to the craft store on the way home!
