I'm not perfect. I make mistakes, plenty of them actually, and whilst usually I learn from them and prevent a re-occurrence, sometimes I don't.
Today is the national Public Holiday we get for Australia Day, (26th January), which fell on a Sunday this year...
So, the holiday is on Monday because I think the government would have a revolt on their hands if they made us go to work; We Aussies like our public holidays, and any excuse not to go to work is a good excuse.
So it's Sunday again today, sort of. A Sunday-Monday one could say I suppose. Anyway, it's a day off and whilst I'd planned to start it with a nice little sleep in things turned out differently.
My mistake? It was a reasonably small one, but annoying...I didn't turn off my weekday alarm! Yeah, it went off like it would on a normal Monday and I couldn't get back to sleep. Faith didn't have that problem though and after groaning at me about the alarm she went right back to sleep.
So, what does one do at 6:30am on a Sunday-Monday? Wash cars!
It's now just after 12pm as I sit to write this and I've brought two cars to a level of sparkle that would do any car dealership showroom proud...They look good. Washed, dried, (yes I even opened the doors and dried inside them), wheels washed and tyres shined (with that tyre-shine stuff that works so well...) I get a lot of enjoyment out of having pristine cars...It just feels good and whilst it's a lot of work, I get a lot of enjoyment also.
So, out of the error I made I've found a positive and am pleased I've gotten those chores done, which I hadn't planned to do today, and still have much of the day ahead of me.
Faith is out gardening now which she loves, and I'm going to build some Lego...As you may know I've just spent a couple days competing at a big shooting event and my body is feeling pretty second hand. Add in some car washing (I have big cars so it takes a lot of effort) and I'm feeling like doing nothing much at all. Lego it is.
I should be out cleaning my gun and equipment from the weekends' shooting but...Meh, that can wait...So can the lego probably, but after two intense days of shooting I can take a day off from guns I think.
I hope y'all had a great weekend and for the Aussies here it's still going, so get after it and enjoy the long weekend. For you others...Well, it's probably Monday and you're heading to work. Make the most of the day though, it won't come back around, and life's too short to waste days.
