back to back 4 day weekends is RUINING ME for regular work.
Totally. Except I had to work today and am not at all sullen about it. I made sure to email my boss before I logged off to show how industrious I'd been today.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I haven't worked in a really long time, and I'm not sure how I'm going to start back up again, honestly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was pretty grumpy about working today, but hopefully not too overtly. Mission Get Too Much Chinese Food and Sufficient Cat Food accomplished!

Happy New Year to those who've arrived. Happy New Year's Eve to the rest of us. I'm stealing my nephew's tradition and having some neighbors over for board games and bubbly. Tomorrow one of the neighbors will have a bunch of us up for brunch and serve black-eyed peas and collards.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've turned on the CNN New Year's show because my mom's chorus is performing, and wow, the bantering is terrible. I wish there was a way to skip right to the part I wanted.

First fireworks and our new dog, Freya, is terrified poor thing. The vet thinks she was hit by a shotgun in the past, so I can't blame her for being scared.

Gud, do you have an interior room you could put her in with music or a tv playing?

Our wings are not tired.
Zoe is in my lap. She's always terrified of the fireworks.
I want to stay up but I don't think it's happening.

Freya can hang out with me in the basement, it's not perfect but it's better than being upstairs.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda is the only one of us at a NYE party tonight. A preview of things to come, I expect.
I'm awaiting JZ to come home after spending the day helping her friend Marta pack up her mother's apartment. (Marta's mom died recently after a long illness.)
I have no idea how we'll celebrate. Perhaps toasted cheese and cocktails.
