I'm taking a few days off this week (two half days yesterday and today, and a full day on Thursday) so I can burn off at least some of my remaining PTO. I was going to work on my apartment cleaning yesterday afternoon, but when I got home, I watched tv for an hour, did some cross-stitching, and then fell asleep for three hours. Then I spent the next eight hours doing more cross-stitching. My hands are a bit stiff today from gripping the stretcher bars and needle! But, I did get a lot of backstitching done. Still have a lot more to go, but should have it all done by midway through my three-week leave next month.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
and I'm done. Even did a wee bit of work. Failed to get the trash or recycling out today AND I realized that I am out of one of my meds. That's no good. Guess I should call the pharmacy, then shower.

The red velvet cake I've made is chocolate cake w/ red food coloring (I've used the gel coloring so you don't need very much of it). Definitely chocolate!

I need a new career.
Didn't you just go back to graduate school and get a new career last week?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, I went back to graduate school and continued in the same career.

whoa. I'm getting a crazy under the table bonus from one of the partners for doing an annoying task. I will have to work on it at home tonight but...the bonus is very generous. Hope I really can finish it!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just got a bonus for some classes I taught (not under the table) and I was amused to see that to get the contract in on time (so I would get paid when they promised) they - that is, the people in the Dean's office of the LAW SCHOOL - forged my signature.

Phew.
Yay money!
Also, how do we feel that Will gave Kate Diana's ring?
