What would I do with a magical eighth day added to this week? In a word, rest, have fun, get away, relax, turn my cell phone off, and most definitely, take a road trip. Okay, that might be more than just “a word.”

Another description of this magical extra day is what I already tell my college students, “Today is a No-Stress Day.” On that magical eighth day, I would take my own advice. No Stress.

Lucky me, I already have this extra eighth day already planned out. This staycation has been on my mind for a while now. I would have already taken this staycation. However, until today I have never had that extra day in my week.

The first order of business

Sleeping late. Not too late, just another hour or two. This is something I rarely get anymore. I will also have to add in coffee. My doctor is trying to get me to quit drinking coffee, especially dark roast coffee.

Doc, what other kind of coffee is there? Sorry, Doc, I am playing hooky this day.

Where to go on my road trip

This is not an advertisement for the company I am about to mention. I don’t know anyone…
