This Weekend

Prompt:
What are your plans for this weekend?

--------

I don't usually make weekend plans, but I'm looking forward to this weekend, as both my sons will be here, plus a friend or two, just maybe. Right now, only my older son from NY is visiting as he only likes Florida during the winter and spring months, and now, his presence in the house is a blessing. So, today, I'm planning to take it slow and enjoy some downtime, as I am always doing something, always trying to iron out life's creases and wrinkles.

People in the psycho business say that looking forward to something increases and sustains optimism. They found that people were at their happiest while actually planning their vacation rather than being on the vacation itself. On the other hand, that is one reason, I like to have somewhat of a routine. I mean what if I anticipate something great and it is not so? Would I like that disappointment? Not me. But I digress.

Coming back to this weekend, Saturday morning, I will probably start with a good cup of tea and a late breakfast—maybe pancakes or something somewhat indulgent. I am not even a fan of pancakes, and I don't know why they popped into my mind just now. More likely, I might have something else, more like French toast and oatmeal for breakfast.

Then, I might go for a walk and when I come in I might write in my blog and conjure up a poem for Katya's "Dew Drop Inn" , for April being the poetry month. After that, maybe, I'll do chores around the house. The same will probably go for Sunday, except of course, both my sons will be here, and I never know what will pop up with them. In any case, I'm sure they'll decide for me. Honestly, that might be the best part.
