Not an especially exciting day here today, despite the once again obscenely nice weather. It cooled down considerably this evening, but for most of the day it was no-jacket-required.
Beyond finishing the Sunday crossword — a cakewalk compared to, say, Thursday’s puzzle — I didn’t do a whole lot. I joined my friend Maurice for our weekly writing group, although we managed to spend several hours actively not writing, but instead talking. We talked about writing some, which has got to count for something, but we also talked about television and plagiarism and all sorts of fun topics.
And that’s really about it for today. I have a short week starting tomorrow, working just Monday through Wednesday, and then I have the same thing the week after thanks to Thanksgiving. After that, I will have to go back to my regular work schedule for several weeks…until the last two weeks of December, which I’m taking off in their entirety.
Next year, maybe I’ll use my vacation days to go somewhere. This year, they’re pretty much just getting turned into long weekends and an extended end-of-the-year break.
Here’s hoping your back problem allows you to go somewhere and enjoy yourself!
