Even panic needs a vacation
Today is my last day of furlough before heading back to work.
I should be weeding. The yard needs it. I should be sitting with my little baggies of eyeshadow samples, testing each one and making my list of eventual full-size-purchases. (I know that I won’t want all of the colors in three of the sample collections I’ve got.) I should be going over this paperwork again, making sure I filled out everything correctly and to the best of my ability. I should be cleaning the house - vacuuming and dusting, particularly dusting.
But my head hurts. And I’m tired from working at the soccer game last night. And this past week I did my laundry, did my work for the HOA board, ran the dishwasher twice, applied for a lower-costing health-and-dental insurance, determined that I really don’t need my cable TV for the next four months, and applied for several more part time jobs. I also sorted through one set of MMU samples and figured out that while I did want many of the colors in fullsize, there were just as many that I didn’t want. So yay for that much. And I did get the paperwork filled out “first-draft”. (And one of the jobs that I’d previously interviewed for, gotten on well with the developer, and then was notified that the position was being offered to someone else…called me back and said, “I think we might need another person. Are you still available or interested?”)
So I think that today I will just sit, and relax, and sip tea, and read.
After I take an aspirin. (And post in response to an email that just came in.)
