Marvelous Monday
Meaning I'm off work and finally blessedly alone. Except for a certain cat in my lap who was highly displeased with me earlier but has decided to forgive the flea medicine. I had good intentions.
Four days off and nothing to show for it. Read a little, knit a little, slept way too little - what's with insomnia when I can finally sleep? I've been a zombie. Still am, but a slightly more awake zombie today.
I don't even have any pictures to post. Oh! It turns out that although it's absolutely lovely outside [insert pictures of lilacs and roses] and they're gorgeous to look at, I'm still freaking allergic to them.
Alone with only a cat is a good state to be in. I'm quite fond of it, myself. My cat keeps wanting to dash outside, now that she's on her home turf, and I have to remind her, "Remember the dogs that tried to eat you? You know, dogs? Arf, munch?" Sadly, the cat is just a wee bit stupid.

Isn't that evil? The best weather/time of the year being the most allergy inducing?

If you weren't 2,000 miles away, I'd offer to hang out with you and talk about knitting (maybe even do some)...
Enjoy your time.

Yay! You survived tax season. Enjoy the well deserved time off.

Except for the insomnia, sounds great! The allergy? It would get me out of gardening ;-)

Oh good - maybe your prize package (which is going in the mail tomorrow morning) will arrive to help you while away your time!

Yay! You survived the drama - sometimes the best thing you can do with 4 days off is have nothing to show for it, you know? :0) Welcome back to the land of knitters and readers!

Sounds like you just need the down time.
It's ok, your productivity will come back.

I'm just glad that you survived the onslaught!
Just enjoy your time with Hez, you'll get back to things soon enough ...

Yay! She lives! Have a restful time off, and don't worry about us. We'll still be here when you recover :-)

Nothing wrong with any of that. 4 days off! Wonderful. Enjoy.

I feel for you. This is how my week sounds. Ah, well. Ah...choo! Hope the next week is better, even if you have to get back to work.

Yay! for the end of tax season! Oh, how wonderful it is to do nothing. It's my favorite.

I have some nice Kureyon for mittens for you...they'll be posh!

YAY! you made it through the worst part of tax season.
It's good sometimes to just relax and not accomplish anything.

Better to go through the short agony of getting flea medication than to have to deal with those terrible things, right?
Your four days off sound like my work week last week. Haha I wish I had stayed home instead. :-S Still, I know how you feel.

Four days off? Lucky! I'm hoping for a day off VERY SOON.
Posted by: tiphanie | April 21, 2008 at 09:43 PM
Yeah, you made it! Congrats!

Flea medicine is always a Good Thing. No matter how much they hate you for it at the time. :) I hope you enjoyed your day off!

Carrie- Why don't you come to Toronto? It's not quite allergy season yet.
Have a well-deserved break.

I've been having insomnia lately too. So frustrating.

Hello there - do I know you? I don't see any problem at all with 4 days off and "nothing to show: - you had 4 days with no demands, and that's more restorative than anything else!
Ditto on the roses -

Ah Hez, always willing to forgive, eh? Oh, and where did the gorgeous weather go?
