Anatomy of a Mental Health Day

I didn't go to work yesterday, and y'all, it was awesome.  Here's what I did:

• Slept an hour later than usual, then had some coffee and read Jezebel.
• Got Charlotte ready for school, dropped her off, and went back home. I could totally handle being a stay-at-home mother of a school-age child.
• Walked on the treadmill while watching Season 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race (Manila and Delta Work's LSFYL to "Macarthur Park" was pretty incredible), then had some candy.  As one does.
• Made some soup.
• Had delicious soup while watching What Not to Wear.

That was pretty much it.  It doesn't sound like much, but I haven't taken a sick day when no one was sick since before Charlotte was born, and it felt like such a luxury.  I might have to do it again sometime in the next six years.
