Mental Health Day

Posted on June 25th, 2007 in Customary Drivel by Deas

I took 年休 nenkyuu today because I needed what my mom used to call a “Mental Health Day.” Lemme briefly ’splain that. You see, my mom rules, and she is a teacher - she therefore understands perfectly what school stress is like. Granted, she’s not an expert on school stresses in Japan, but she gets the gist. We basically agreed that taking days off of school is more fun when you’re healthy. When you’re sick, why not go to school and deal with the drudgery anyway? When you’re home, why not enjoy yourself? Therefore, I took a mental health day. Looks like laundry, dishes, bits of spring cleaning, maybe a ride to the police station to register for a scooter license test, some dinner, reading the rest of a great book, and sleep. I just really needed this more than you can imagine. Sigh. Me time.

Fun afterthought - Ken Y-N from WJT started a new goofy site. Check it out. My Buddhist name is Tripitaka Master Vast Carrier. What’s yours?
