'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's a weird week when you have Patriot's Day (the real one) and Good Friday coming together, so naturally it is also School Vacation Week around here.

(The largest religious denomination in MA is Roman Catholic, so you'd better believe nearly everyone knows when it is. Also, since I'm privy to some Jewish friends' Passover preparations, there's a little extra reminder going on.)

And Rosemary is actually at a nearly-normal level of activity for her, which is pretty damn slow for just about anyone else -- she's been suffering from a degrading circulation for years now, so I have hopes that as her recovery progresses she'll have a bunch more vim and vigor appropriate for a 63yo.

I'm trying to figure out what to do with my day off tomorrow to make it feel more like a vacation day and less like just another day. But the weather is supposed to be crappy. I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with something that I'd do on a weekend but is too crowded and nothing is coming to mind other than the lady spa, but I'm not feeling that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My parents are here, and will be here until early Monday morning. sigh...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My office closes for Good Friday and my usual 9/80 day off would be on Friday so that got bumped. I had actually planned to take it today instead but then this class got scheduled so I'll have Monday off.

You know, Watergate may just have taught some people some things. All those aides who refused to follow That Man's orders re: Mueller were probably thinking "I'm not the one who's going to be sitting in front of a million cameras explaining why I did the President's dirty work. Mama didn't raise me to be John Dean."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My office is closed for Good Friday (a fact I forgot until my boss reminded me when I said we should schedule something for tomorrow) and I am therefore going antiquing with a friend who freelances.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think I got Good Friday off even in grammar school (I think we had a half-day?), so I am fascinated by all of this!

Our wings are not tired.

We always got Good Friday off, but my public high school was so Catholic that they made church announcements along with all the other school announcements.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, the population at my public school was Catholic enough that I can basically tell you who wasn't Catholic in my class (me, one Greek Orthodox, one Jehovah's Witness, one Sikh, and I guess some non-church-goers.)
