I’m taking today and tomorrow off, which sort of rules. What doesn’t, however, is that I’ve accomplished next to nothing today: drinking coffee, playing “kill the red dot” with Theo and the laser pointer, reading Special Topics in Calamity Physics (which is great, btw), listening to NPR, scarfing delicious scrambled tofu, and thinking about all the productive things I could/should be doing (hit the stationary bike, clean the house, buy groceries, pay bills, toss some leftovers and produce that are looking long in the tooth, go through a yillion photographs, execute my grand plan to use the networked iMac for file storage to free up the laptop). It’s also another in a series of spectacularly cool and beautiful days, and not being out in the sunshine and breeze is probably a criminal offense.

Edited to add: I managed to at least get some housework done, which feels great. Tomorrow is supposed to be another gorgeous day, perhaps the last for a week, and I intend to relish every moment.
