“There just aren’t enough hours in the day,” you mutter as you check another item off your to-do list. Little do you know that your pen was forged from a sliver of the most precious of cosmic wonders—the Time Gem. You, Graeme McMillian, have now been granted an extra twenty-four hours. Two Tuesdays in one! What do you do?

The first line of this makes me laugh so hard, because I have five massive to-dos staring at me from another window that I just checked again before reading this.

If I really had an extra day out of nowhere, right now, what I’d do is set aside some reading time for myself, take the dogs for a long walk, do some baking – I’ve promised Kate that I’d make her some almond biscotti for ages now – and just generally try to decompress a bit. Recent events have made me go all-out for awhile and I’m feeling as if a day where I have no deadlines and can be a little selfish would be the greatest gift of all. 

Now I wish I had a Time Gem pen for real.
