I awoke slowly this morning, a change from the abruptness of the early alarm I set during the working week - I don't know why I bother because I'm always awake before it goes off anyway - and I took my time getting out of bed. A slow start for certain but a nice organic wake-up, unforced and somewhat lazy, to a Saturday and three-day weekend ahead that holds no real plans for me other than relaxation...and a pretty special dinner and evening planned by my partner on Sunday night.
The last few days have been very hot, something which drains my energy, and the next few are also going to be a little warm too so I won't be doing much outside other than watering the garden once the sun dips low and it's somewhat cooler. Inside with the air conditioning on is where I'll spend most of the weekend, I have my books - one to finish and another to begin is the goal this weekend - and it's a Formula One Grand Prix weekend so I'll be watching some motor racing as well. Other than that, I'm still working through episodes of Alias for the umpteenth time, love it, and have some writing to do, a few passages if text I want to sharpen up for my book - not much will be happening besides that really, just relaxation.
I think it's important to have weekend like this, largely unplanned and without any real pressure to do much; some may think of it as boring but for me it's rejuvenating, I suppose because my life is usually so fast-paced. It's nice just to let time move on as it will and to indulge in relaxing activities and things that hold no urgency, doing you think?
If you'd like, tell me in the comments below what you have planned for the weekend, or comment generally.

Hi Galen, just wishing you a good weekend, as lazy as you need. As for mine, I will be traveling to see a friend, so it will be busy, but fun. Best regards
Enjoy your travels and time with your friend, hopefully it's a good weekend all round.
Thank you very much Galen, if there are no problems with the internet I will still be around. Best regards
Same kind of heat here too so I’ll take it easy today, play some iPad games and household chores before dinner at friends tonight. Sunday is a church and a birthday party - Monday maybe surfing or snorkelling.
A good weekend ahead for you... snorkelling or surfing? Doesn't get much better than that. Have a good one.
Sometimes that cool and quiet indoor experience on a weekend is mostly underrated which shouldn't be so, because I guess it's the only time that We've got to ourselves... That time when we get to reflect on our lives.
Have a great weekend !
I hope you have a good weekend too, much planned?
I'll pay a visit to my aunt's place today. She's been wanting to see how I've much I've grown over the years. We'll prolly talk, and feast... Just a little Family reunion I guess.
Good to see the partner, I hadn’t seen her in quite a while and didn’t know what was up but can leave it at that!
I enjoy those weekends - for me a lot of it is just cleaning around the house. A bunch of just dusting and shit. Nothing crazy and nothing special but it’s things that gotta get done. We’ve had a few of those recently and it’s a little refreshing because of the chaos of work and all that, good to chill for a bit. Of course the little man is running off the walls but that’s hard to avoid often times, so we figure out a way to get his energy out.
Hope the diabetes is better managed, I know it was tough for a few weeks there man! Been thinking about you and that situation but kept getting side tracked from stopping by.
Here’s to a relaxing weekend man!
I remember days back when I was a kid, nothing much going on but we were content. Bike riding, climbing trees, tadpoling at the creek or making forts and cubby houses, building Lego or making wooden swords and guns to play make believe with...it was nice, simple. It's those days I'm reminded of on weekends like this one and I always find a lot of value.
I went to the hardware store from some Draino to do my drains, a periodic job, had breakfast and lunch, read for a couple hours and now it's time for a nap...seems like a decent Saturday to me. 🤔
As I said a while back, I don't get too in-depth in respect of my life here, no one's business I guess, and rarely do I add images that indicate too much, this one is an exception, mainly for lack of anotter photo to match my post.
As for the health...injections, loads of them, but I'm not dead so it's not too bad I guess.
Yeah dude we would be in the park next to my parents house doing stuff, in the yard digging up worms, or hiking in the woods next door to my parents. Getting into things but not too chaotic. I hope to give my son those types of memories and access to that stuff! It’s important for kids, much more important than throwing a piece of technology in his face and letting him waste away the day and his life.
Sounds like a very nice weekend :)
No plans here, what ever comes to mind or just a chill weekend.
A chill weekend sounds like a great plan.
Haha yeah it's needed. But maybe I'm up for a bike ride. Spring is around the corner 😁
Having a relaxing weekend is the best thing of all. It will be quite hot but with air-conditioning you will be fine.
My weekend... Tomorrow Saturday or today your Saturday it will rain, so I will do housework and maybe go out in the evening but no planning.
Sunday will be a nicer day with sunshine, I guess I'll do a big walk, some family time and maybe a night walk, I love them!!!
Good night! See you tomorrow!
Housework...💩(Still, it needs to be done and who doesn't love a nicely presented home right?)
I hope you have a great weekend.
Thank you very much Galen!!!!🤗
These weekends, quiet, without pressures and responsibilities to fulfill, with the best. Enjoy it to the fullest. On this side of the world the heat also has me exhausted. Staying at home is an excellent plan to rest.
I hope you have a nice weekend and the heat isn't to taxing on you.
Those weekends are really the best. I think there is a car in one of the races this weekend that is owned by Jon Bon Jovi. It's sponsored by his sons wine company too I think. It might not be in the formula race. I think there is an Indy car race going this weekend too. Alias was a pretty great show. I was really sad about Bradly Coopers short stint, but the whole Rembaldi story line was pretty fascinating to me as someone who digs science and treasure and all of that.
Nah, it's not in the Formula One racing, some other category possible.
I saw Alias years ago and have seen it a few times since and I enjoy it each time, find something new in it, a small clue they dropped in the storyline. It's good value.
You do what makes you happy and stop making so much noise. Hahahaha... can't you see you're going to wake up those girls on the couch!
Indeed, whatever makes me happy.
😁
The problem we have had with unplanned weekends thus far is "are we busy this weekend?" followed by something being planned or having to ferry children around XD
Hope you're having a nice chill :)
Yep, I imagine children can complicate matters; luckily, I sold mine to the circus when they were very young and, while I didn't make a bundle, my life has been less complicated since.
Wow, those are some hot temps. But at least you will be relaxing for those days. I attended my aunt's 60th birthday celebration this weekend, and it was a nice celebration.
Yeah, it's hot for sure, I have an integrated air conditioning system though, throughout every room, so it's nice inside. A good weekend to relax though, for sure.
A 60th huh? Glad it was a good time. Have a good rest of the weekend.
That's a good weekend experience, unplanned, and interesting
Indeed it is.
You enjoyed a very pleasant weekend, relaxing in an air-conditioned room in the Penas weather is the most relaxing activity and the most enjoyable, by the way I also like the Gran Prix racing which always colors my life at the weekend, I always watch it on TV with my family. And this weekend I want to go to the beach, hopefully I can go to the beach and have enough free time to enjoy my weekend this week, I hope you have a nice weekend brother
You like the F1 too? Cool. Who is your favourite team and driver?
Of course Max Verstappen from the Red Bull Racing team, I also like Moto Gp racing with Favorite Rider Marc Marquez who has just moved to the Gresini Racing Team
Hey Galen!
Good to see you. Weekends are not always free of tasks like I have to work on weekends as well. This weekend I am planning to start working on my thesis. Weekends free of alarms are so relaxing and I am waiting for that weekend to come soon🤭.
Your thesis huh? It sounds like a lot of work and I wish you all the best...how long will it take do you think?
It's my M.phill thesis. I have to work on the introduction this weekend.
Philosophy huh? That's cool. All the best with it.
Yes.
Thanks love😍
