Vacation Phoebe-style
I am officially on the first personal vacation I've taken since I was laid off from my last job at CCBN (if we don't count my trip to France and Germany last spring, which I consider more of a visit-cation.) It's pretty exciting. This morning I woke up at the same time I do to go to work but, instead, I took a walk with the cat (who is very receptive to leash-walking, shockingly), caught up my mom while enjoying the view in the arboretum, didn't clean or make the bed, got a haircut, and came to the library to do blog-research and bask in the beautiful library-ness of the BPL main branch.
Ahhhhh!
Of course, in true Phoebe-style, I have a list of what I'd like to accomplish (in the loosest possible fashion) before Thursday next week.
