Welcome to #checkin for Wednesday, March 22, 2023!

Good evening/morning/afternoon and welcome to today's #checkin. Can't believe that today is my last day as #checkin host for this week. I think @su ann lim is next up. Today is National Goof off Day! In short, just have fun, procrastinate, do something silly, do anything else except your work...
I must admit that until today I never heard this idiom.

The day was created by William D. Chase of Chase's Calendar of Events and his granddaughter, Monica "Moeller" Dufour. In 1976, when Monica was 10, she was listening to her grandfather on the radio. He was encouraging listeners to call in with ideas for holidays. Monica decided to be a goof-off, so she disguised her voice, and called into the station, telling her grandfather that there should be a Goof-off Day. The following day she confessed to him that it was her that had called in, and the day was born!

Love the story for the holiday! What's something "silly" you can do? Balance a pencil? Fold a paper plane?
