Dropped Jim off at the airport yesterday morning. Picked up groceries, came home, worked at home.<\/p>\n
Today, intended to go in to the office, but then thought, y'know, I could use some solitary downtime. So I worked at home again.<\/p>\n
Monday is a work holiday. I have no plans for the next three days, except seeing Jay & Holly & Avery at my place on Sunday.<\/p>\n
You know what this means?<\/p>\n
I can avoid leaving the house for five consecutive days! And I don't even have to get dressed for most of that time!<\/p>\n
I realize that that doesn't sound exciting to those of you who've been trapped inside lately for one reason or another. But it sounds mighty nice to me.<\/p>\n
Of course, chances are good that at some point in the next couple days, I'll end up going out and seeing people after all. Which will also be good.<\/p>\n
But right now, I'm expecting to spend most of the next three days doing nothing but magazine stuff, taxes, watching DVDs, playing DDR, and reading Tam Lin<\/cite>.<\/p>\n That last being where I encountered this quote:<\/p>\n True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.<\/p>\n —Joseph Addison, The Spectator<\/cite>, March 17, 1911<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n (Yes, yes, for many people that's not true happiness. For that matter, it's often not for me either. But it often is.)<\/p>\n (Addendum: May also spend some time playing other Wii games, because I just found the game discs for Wii Sports and Wii Fit! They've been missing for six months. Turns out they were at the very bottom of a box labeled \"software\" that was full of commercial software DVDs. Rather than, for example, in the box labeled \"Wii,\" which is where I keep looking for them (even though it's now empty) because it's the obvious place for them.)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dropped Jim off at the airport yesterday morning.
