Seize the (extra) day

29 February 2012

There’s something special about February 29, isn’t there?

I like to think of it as a bonus day. Depending on what’s going on with my life, I might take the day off or I might spend the day getting extra stuff done.

I wish I could take the day off. (I am treating myself to lunch with a friend.) But my plan is to spend this Leap Day at my desk, tackling a couple of those important-but-not-urgent business-related tasks that I haven’t been able to get to in the last couple of weeks. That pleases me to no end.

Here’s today’s Google Doodle (the graphic on their search home page) in honor of Leap Day. It’s in honor of the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini, who was born on February 29, 1792:

How about you? What are you doing on this very special day?

I love the way you look at this .. as an extra day to do things with. I hadn’t thought of it like that at all .. and kinda wish I had! I would have taken the day off and done something fun .. as it was I worked.. and due to the start of a cold coming (yay!) I am now sitting at home catching up on blogs and blogging and thinking about going to bed early!

Perhaps I shall make more of the extra Bank Holiday we have this year for the Queen’s Jubilee in June ..!
