As a caregiver, what would your perfect day(s) off be like?

Such great ideas here. Hadn't thought about chocolate, taking in some culture, or a butler! : )

I’d go into the city and have a full day shopping, sight seeing and going to the Art Gallery, The Music Conservatorium, The botanical gardens and Just be free. And turn my phone off.

More sleep for sure. Maybe a relaxing massage and doing whatever I want by myself of with friends

Just to have one!

Perfect day, good book, a glass of prosecco and nice box of chocolates.
Perfect days ( preferably 10) , 5 star hotel on beautiful beach with bali beds and butler.

Perhaps like BOJ’s Cinderella joke, a day out, some nice new togs to wear, comfortable shoes, and something nice to do.

BOJ’s was ‘a night out and a new dress’ – ie not the Prince!

Yay! It's ok to dream : ) Caregiving is so hard, I thinks it's ok to share a little bit of what would be nice to enjoy. We are not alone, and this helps us (I hope) to know that.

Thanks for sharing. Comfort to all of those who so need it now.

dear OP :),

great question.

i also want, twix in my cabinets. some carrots in the fridge (not for me; for my bunny).

ok, i’m ready for my perfect day.

anytown-oh yeah! No interruptions! Yay!

I don't know what I do, other than there wouldn't be ONE SINGLE DAMNED INTERRUPTION of what I was doing, all day

Ariadnee, for me it would be curling up in the corner of the sofa and taking a nice long uninterrupted nap. But first, turning off the cellphone. If there is an emergency the house phone is still up and running. Hopefully it is not a day where the spam callers are in full force.
