I like that this topic came up on a weekend, making it easier for me to realize that I don't have much going on for me during weekends. My days run almost same very week so I rarely get to notice it's weekend until Sunday, a day I love so much as I do go to serve my God. Aside that, my weekends aren't so much different from my week days but the reason is quite clear... I am working from home.
Maybe I should share a little glimpse of how most of my weekends go, just know that they are mostly what I do during the week too but know too that I am not complaining 😅 because they aren't so bad an activity for me if I should do them everyday.

Wake up, say a prayer, turn on my phone data, reply all messages from the previous day and that is it... I'm into my weekend already
From that moment, you'll see me putting on my Hive cloth because I want to engage on Hive, create a content or engage with friends in discord channel. After that, I prepare breakfasts, weekends breakfast always come late as I do have to do some house care chores while preparing breakfast... Yes, multi-tasking is at it's peak on my weekends 😅
I can still remember a few years back before I got into the university, weekends was always my favourite days to look forward to as I would be joined with my fellow music lovers to rehearse different songs and have fun with music... It's always uplifting and so much fun especially with the fact that we do it at different venues, sometimes in our friends houses.
Those days had my best time weekends in it a lot but since I got into the university and joined Hive, my Weekends have taken a different turn but I won't say it has been a bad one, I still do enjoy it but having a random tune up is all I ask for every weekend to make it a little different from my week days.
My weekends start from Friday and ends on Sunday night
The feeling I get when it's Friday approves why I chose Friday as the start of my weekend. Most of my Friday nights are filled with loud music because my dad enjoys it too so it's never too noisy 😅 he would dance so happily and I will sing along as if I created the song since I'm not a great dancer, my Bro would always find a way to try harmonizing the song... it's a family time that makes most of my Friday nights.
Like I've said, weekends aren't much of a difference for me but the extra is that I get to have my dad around as he closes early from work on weekends and we get to enjoy good meals prepared by him (I can cook but big respect to my dad's prepared meals)
It is obvious what will make my weekend incomplete if absent.
The meals prepared by my dad.
My dad loves to cook but having to work all week and the weekend to rest, he would always love to prepare at least one meal during the weekend for all of us to eat. I don't think I've gotten used to his meals because they always taste deliciously delicious every time or maybe it's because I don't enjoy my meals as others do enjoy it since I am the one who prepared it 🥲
Singing and eating with my whole family..
We get to eat as family a lot on weekends as dad won't have to go to work early and come back late on weekends. My sister isn't around but it is even better when she is around and we eat dad's delicious meal together as family, smiling over the day's memory while we eat. The part of singing I have said it before now, we do sing together on Fridays a lot when I play songs from my phone.
Going for Sunday's worship service.
This one is the highlight of my weekend as it is not just the day I always look forward to, it is also a day I get to sing happily to God, listen to His words alongside with like minds and I get to receive blessings for the new week. Attending it with y family is a gift I will cherish all my life as I've seen families that don't do so together, it's heartbreaking.
So yeah, my weekends might seem like my week days but the extras are what makes my weekends fun and I appreciate the good health my family and I have to be able to go through every weekend in style hehe.
