Today represents the vacation I thought I'd have: Sitting by my computer, editing student work, writing some of my own and prepping for class. For a myriad of reasons, the break was much, much busier and 70% of the busy-ness had nothing to do with work (good in some ways; bad in others).
Now that the break I thought I'd have is finally upon me, I feel like it's almost too late to savor it. We're back to school tomorrow. Why should I pre-emptively work today? With the remaining hours, maybe I should savor what's left of the non-work break. Maybe I should just watch all those TV episodes I'd been rationing. Maybe I should play a few more hours of Skyrim. Maybe I should bake or cook (cholesterol and sugar be damned). Maybe I should do just about anything other than work.
