Is it the weekend yet?

Oh wait, it is the weekend now?  Then why doesn't it feel like it?  I guess that's what happens when your work-life balance is messed up.  And you also have an inability to totally switch off.  It's why I can't do holidays that involve just relaxing by the pool or on the beach.  I have to be engaged in something - mentally or physically.  And perhaps it's also because my everyday life is - intentionally - not particularly busy or overly stressful.  Or at least I try to make it that way.  So I don't need to unwind in the same way as say someone who has kids.  I guess all of this doesn't make me value weekends in the same way as someone who works hard during the week...
