I got two days off this week. It was only two days, but I felt lucky to have them. I have been on the go these days. My work has been really hectic. Next Thursday and Friday will be holidays. Now I wonder what I'll do.
Driving into the country, seeing what pops up around the next bend, is one of my hobbies though. Thinking of the high price of gasoline, it's not a good idea. How about caring for my garden? It's extraordinarily hot. Off the top of my head,,, nothing!
I decided to play it by ear. If one of my family wanted to go out, it would be ok. A movie? it would be ok. Shopping? It would be ok. Anyway, I'm fixing to have no advanced schedule.

Off the top of my head, とっさに思いつくのは
今週、２日間の休みをもらった。たった二日ではあるが嬉しい。このところ忙しく過ごしていたから。今度の木曜と金曜が休みだが、何をして過ごそうか。
田舎道を走るのも良いが、ガソリンの高値を考えるとあまり良い考えとも言えない。庭いじりでもするか？いや、それにはあまりにも暑すぎる。とりあえず、、、何も思いつかない。
結局何も予定を立てないことにした。家族が何か言えばそれに従おう。
