Sleeping In

I am done for the semester. Had some last-minute changes on Friday, but now, now I am done. Grades turned in, done.

And so I slept in today. As did my lovely David. Til 10am. Which is some kind of record for me . I can't usually manage that unless I'm sick. Apparently I needed it.

So. Because I am on Break, officially, here's my To Do List:

      Address and mail all the holiday cards I finally got addresses for. (Because this year for the first time ever I wrote a year-end recap letter.)

      Work on Christmas presents for the family. So far, they're turning out well. Beautiful, in fact, though I canna say wha' they arrrrrre, or show pictures, because that would spoil the surprise.

      Rake the yard. Because the time when the yard should have been raked was a time of 15 hour days away from the house combined with darkness whenever I was home. Now, I have time to rake, so rake I shall. And possibly also prune the climbing rose on the front porch. And remove the wasps nests from the back porch roof and the shrub next to the house. Just to help deter return visits.

      Work on the syllabus for my new class next semester. I've got the first three weeks of the schedule figgered out. I need to get the whole thing done. Mebbe I can finish by Friday. Wouldn't that be wonderful. (And completely unrealistic.)

      Clean the house. Ugh. I knowI should get it done, but I swear to god it is the hardest thing to get myself to do. I'm happy to pick up clutter and put things away and even clean the bathroom, but I can't seem to bring myself to either vacuum or mop. Which both need doing in the worst way. Hmmmmmm...

Oh Dayyyyyyyviiiiiiid...
