msfledermaus | A day off and a brief moment of Captain Emily... (Reply)

I've been finding that these days work's got me tired and kinda spacey. I spent a lot of time yesterday speed-cleaning the Maushaus and fretting that there's too much, too much to do. It's the curse of my age bracket, I find... Yesterday I was moth-proofing the Rainy Day Craft Room with lots of cedar and lavender, hot water and soap. Spring's a comin' and I don't want the myriad creepy-crawlies that live on my bucolic Island to find my fleece stashes tasty. (This is the problem of living in a state park. The good part is, you see wildlife like cardinals and bunnies and raccoons and opossums and wild turkeys and butterflies and such. The bad part is the nature wants to come live in your house where it's warm or get into your tasty garbage or harass your neighbor's chickens or chew your house.)

Anyway, today's more of a chill-out day today. Yesterday I bought chocolate, movies and nail polish, so I can Officially Relax. (Okay okay, I wanna go outside and get my hair cut and buy a shadow box for an project I'm getting paid for, but after that, relaxing!! I can do it, I know I can!!!) And Tonight I'm going to Moscow on the Hill with friends and loved ones to eat pulmeni and try different kinds of vodkas...

But I think I'm needing some kind of small vacation. I've got some time saved up, but it's hard getting management these days to allow you the privilege of having a day off without booking four months in advance and groveling particular well. I did book a nice four day weekend...in May:/
Maybe I'll have to figure something out, because I'm getting all burned out and grumpy...

But Captain Emily loves me...and this is how I know. She sent me Creeeeeetures!!! Look, look!!
