Unwinding

I'm off work for the next week, and I really need a break. Still, I find it really hard to unwind and relax. How can this be? I've been looking forward to this week since August. It's been the carrot in front of me for the whole semester. My entire being has yearned for this. And when it's finally come, I have to tell myself to relax. I have to resist filling my days with errands and household chores. I'm so stuck in my rut that I feel uneasy if I'm not doing, doing, doing.

How do I break this habit? How can I unwind and let the unending chore list alone? Where does this need to stay occupied come from?

What you need is a magic brownie and some groovy tunes on the hi-fi.

My thoughts EXACTLY. I'm sure I won't be able to sit still for more than a little while without feeling like I'm wasting time. Oh well - I guess it's better to be productive!
