Is it just me, or do five-day work weeks seem excessively long? I’m being glib, but also slightly serious. Much like I am only at my best for six hours of the eight hour work day, I’m really only productive from Monday to Thursday… and usually by Thursday afternoon, a week of stress has drained my motivation and enthusiasm completely. Suffice it to say that I am really looking forward to this weekend. Not that we have any special plans – we don’t. But sometimes, that’s almost better.

A special weekend is pretty nice, too, though. Two weeks ago, we woke up at the JW Marriott for our last day in Vancouver after the most blissful sleep. It was Sunday morning, and I wanted it to last forever. Honestly, between the beds and the pillows (which were the perfect mix of firm and yielding,) I never wanted to leave. Normally, I am up with the sun. But that morning, we lingered in the room over my favourite, TWG Tea, and looked out the window at the seawall where we used to run so often. We thought of actually running, but it was a truly lazy Sunday, so we stayed cosy inside, instead.

We did drag ourselves out of bed eventually – for just long enough to take these photos. And, naturally, once I was dressed, I realised I was starving, so we set off to forage for breakfast in nearby Chinatown. It was the kind of Sunday I wish could happen every week, but that is all the more satisfying simply because it doesn’t.

The truth is, I know I won’t spend this weekend in my pyjamas in front of Netflix, but right now, the idea is extremely tempting. Whatever your plans are, I hope you have a wonderful (and restful!) two days off. You’ve earned it.
