Nugget...I know how you feel. The same thing happens to me when I take time off. I get two weeks of vacation time at my job. One week I spend going away with my husband and the remaining five days I take throughout the year as "me" days. Those days are so precious to me (because I only have five of them) that I try hard (too hard) to make them "perfect" days. I find that it sometimes works to plan the day in advance as best you can and try to stick to it. Being spontaneous is definitely not me.
The best thing I can tell you is to make sure you do at least one thing that is strictly for fun and that's important to you, even if it's only for an hour or two. That way, you won't feel as if you're whole day was wasted.
