I am also jealous, although I did not make any good use of my days off. I think I had African Sleeping Sickness, as I mostly slept when not having festivities, and got almost nothing accomplished that I wanted to.
In other first world problems, even with all of Hulu and all of Netflix, I cannot find a movie I want to watch. I am in the mood for a lightish romance, like a Hallmark Hall of Fame/Lifetime movie of a LaVyrle SPencer romance novel or A Walk in the Clouds, but I cannot find quite what I want and thus keep watching Law and Order;SVU. The opening keeps making me laugh, because at some point in my high school or college years, we used the word "heinous" all the time. "That blouse is heinous" or "She is a heinous bitch". So when they say "These crimes are especially heinous." it makes me giggle.
I just watched (on tape) the L&O where Jerry Orbach is the defense attorney!
Not to rub it in, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to sleep for the next couple of days. I just don't sleep much at my parents'.
Count me in on the jealous of the non-workers. I already know I have to work until 5:30 on NYE and on Friday.
This week is going to suck.
That does suck!
I am working half days Monday and Tuesday and then off again Wed-Sun. And Wed-Sun is completely PLANS free and I plan to keep it that way.
I work Tuesday and Wednesday. I wish to be cranky about it, but since there are so many the bay area libraries/cities that are on enforced vacation -- I won't be complaining.
Simpson's kipa is fabulous.
Homework and grading should be forbidden during the holiday break. When I am in charge this will not happen. We will be working this week, but we have a message on the answering machine that we are on reduced staff and are returning calls. We only answer the phone if we wanna.
Happy Birthday Jesse!
Happy Belated Birthdays, Theodosia and quester!
The sum total of what I have accomplished today is buying anti-perspirant and putting the cover to my comforter in the wash. I don't see myself adding much to the tally in the next 4 hours.
I'm feeling all manner of virtuous for sticking to my year-end clearing out ritual.
In the last 48 hours, I've sorted and refiled every single piece of paper in my house. I've refiled and organized everything to be more useful and to actually facilitate the blog I've been 'going' to get started for more than a year. [Deena, can you believe it?]
This evening, I answered every holiday card and sent a few new year cards to long lost clients.
Tomorrow, I'm finishing up a sort and toss in my storage space (a closed off hallway) and freecycling things I can live without.
I'm hoping the Universe rewards order.
Happy birthdays to all who are enjoying them and ~ma to all who could enjoy these days more.
Oh, my bday was Friday, with Theo, but thanks!
