Sleep
Where did you get that black label? Beauty man
I really try and do all my errands on workdays so that I can truly enjoy my day off. So the answer is do the errands I forgot about.
Rarely do I go to the bar on my day off. Sleep in, play video games, run errands, cook dinner, maybe have a nice dinner date or a movie. Depending on the time of year, camping, hiking, or snowboarding!
You still have the knees for snowboarding?
Same
sleep in, smoke a lot of weed, take myself to lunch at my favorite local spot and talk to my favorite bartender who never asks me what I want because it's always the same, and tip him absurdly, spend a little money somewhere else (usually necessity shopping but the occasional target splurge does happen), pick up the dogs from daycare (hubby dropped them off for me in the morning so I could sleep in), enjoy some of my own tv time before he gets home from work, smoke some more, and spend some quality time with my small family to top it all off. every fucking tuesday, and it's magical
happy tuesday!
Smoke weed, beat my meat, eat cookies, and laugh at memes
So the 3 other bartenders, a barback, and myself do monthly poker nights, play COD/Fortnite nightly, go to baseball games during the season, dinners with our partners…. Or I just sit and doom scroll Reddit alone, a documentary barely holding my attention, and not speak a word for 24 hours.
Any of those are a delightful option
The last part of this statement hit hard.
Go kayaking with a sandwich and a bottle of rum
Laundry, grocery shop… paddle board in summer, snowboard in winter!
Your mum!

stay off my feet
I just started twitch streaming. I definitely don’t hang at a bar or drink lol
Not go to bars, generally. I’m already at one for 40 hours a week. Work on music, keep my chops up on various instruments, watch videos about the Franco Prussian war, outdoor activities
Gaming, some reading, mushroom hunting, basic life stuff, etc. Backpacking/camping if I get a few days off in a row
I’m off right now and I’m cleaning my room
You guys are getting off days?
Mostly gaming
Sleep and game, sometimes paint and as little housework as possible.
I parent while my partner works.
What’s a day off???
Smoke, video games, sleep, and if any friends are off (aka if I feel social) then I'll get a drink with someone.
Cook. Hang with my dogs. Hopefully not talk to anyone
Bong hits, like I do on the days I work…
Not go places with hideous 'art' on the walls.
Currently finishing a bloody with a pint, then laundry. 😆
are you in minnesota? was absolutely mind blown when my minnesotan boss asked me for a bloody with a beer back. walked away after assuring her I could do it and racked my brain what the fuck does she mean by beer back? she's wants a shot glass of beer?
Michigander, but we do the same shit lol. If they don’t automatically give me a small beer pour for my bloody, I’ll ask for a pint 😅
so it's a midwest thing in general lol good to know. we started serving the cutest 8oz bottles of miller high life with our bloody shortly after this happened and they are a hoot. i'm in denver but work at a vikings bar, and it's the only place here i've ever seen a beer back.
Omg if I got an 8oz miller high life* bottle with my bloody, I would embarrassingly squeal in excitement! Ahaha that’s so cute. My bar used to give mini Coors light cans for beer backs, but found full keystone light cans to be cheaper for them in the long run and switched to those😂 The Midwest is nutty.
Well apparently today I came in to work. Had someone test pos for the Vid and I stepped up to cover. Been alright tho. I love my place.
When my wife’s not off with me I sleep in, have a breakfast beer, smoke a butt, and do some stuff around the house …and hit the vape pen a couple times in between all those
Video games. Sex. Biking. Float river. Cook. Clean
Climb into my huge bed and dream.
I usually am the laziest or the drunkest version of myself. Trying to fix it, but I've got a problem and can't give up the booze entirely. So today I'm walking around my city drinking but not doing shots
Sleep
Also all thr hw I kinds neglect because school snd work is a tad bit challenging to juggle
Laundry, apply to jobs, sleep, read, tv, cook.
GTL anybody??
Sleep. A bit of laundry. Sent memes. Went to dinner with my mom today. Usually I either go hunting or fishing if I have the energy.
Fuck all hopefully
Your mom
Mother Fucking Sleep! And laundry and floors and I switch off picking up my girlfriend's kids from school. She gets mine when I work and I get hers when I'm off. I don't cook or do kitchen shit. That's why I married BOH. He does all that. Bartenders and Chefs. Tale as old as time.
Watch bad 90s TV and do cocaine and drink a bottle of nice champagne. Order Chinese food and take a hot bath. Try to read a book for about 5 minutes. Eat Chinese food and watch X-Files. Finish the cocaine. Start drinking chartreuse and put on some music and pretend I'm in the band for a bit. Consider painting in my garage studio but decide to vomit instead. Take some phenylethylamines/tryptamines or hit the DMT pen. Start a bonfire in my backyard but pass out and piss myself. Wake up at 6AM with a pounding headache and crawl back onto my couch. Get an urge to call my mother but decide instead to order more Chinese food and drink a beer. Cry a bit watching The Office. Jim and Pam are so in love. If my girlfriend's staying with me though, I don't do any of that. I just stare at the walls for 24 hours.
Yoga always bc my body hurts after my shifts. Sometimes hike or go to the gym, crochet, read, smoke weed
Sleep in, clean the house, hang out with my son, silversmith, cut stone, hike, kick it with whoever I'm sleeping with at the moment, pretend downtown doesn't exist, fish, float, DnD or MtG, stare at my ceiling, that sort of thing.
