I suddenly ended up with five more vacation days than I had previously thought I was entitled to, so at the urging of both my boss and my wife, I am cashing in on a bit of my windfall today!
The best thing about taking a day off? Really, there are innumerable answers to this, but I think today’s winner is the extra snuggle time in the morning.
The worst thing? Watching the tiny snowflakes start drifting down in little wispy traces outside the window, precursor of the coming storm. It reinforces the slight chill in the house, and makes my fingers feel even more like little fleshy icicles. I’m so not ready for winter yet. What happened to those lovely, clear, crisp fall days we were supposed to have? Brr!

woooot Vacation!
happyhappy. Enjoy it. There’s nothing better to do on cold wintery days than STAY HOME.
Believe me. I had to walk to the quad today. Crossing that hideous cedar/carnegie intersexual…
Oh, I envy you…
I’ve been out and about a lot today on campus, and my fingers are still a bit numb. We do get to go home at 3 today, which is a pleasant bonus.
Happy holidays!
Unfortunately I have been too lazy/preoccupied to switch the thermostat into manual mode, so it’s pretty damn chilly in the house at the moment. I’m finding it really, really difficult to type as my hands have gotten quite cold.
Maybe I should go mess with the settings…. (ya think??)
Mmm, perhaps.

Has angering the local gender-queer folk become a Cleveland pastime, or did you mean ‘intersection’?
