It's a bit sad, really. I just had six straight days off and today, after working for two hours, I'm ready to go home and rest up. I've sorted the papers (there's a lot of bookkeeping stuff to be done - ugh), cleaned out the spam accounts, picked up and distributed the snail mail, and cleared out my voicemail.

I also got a message from my boss (who did not feel the roads were good enough for him to come in last Friday but who was annoyed that I did not come in last Friday) saying he won't be in today, but wanting to make sure I came in.

That cleaning up of accumulated debris seems to be about as far as my ambition goes. Having checked my personal email four times and found nothing, I'm going to blog for a while.

They're predicting another 6" - 8" for tomorrow or Thursday, which might mean I lose another day later this week.

We're going to the grocery store tonight, just in case. I've been having thoughts about pot roast lately and we need milk. We went to the store on Sunday only to find that they were out of milk and other things that require to be delivered fresh daily, but supplies should be replenished by now.

Oh, and before I forget, there will be pictures of the recent blizzard. I'll grab them off the PC at home tonight and post them up for the benefit of those of you who don't see much, or any, of the white stuff.

I hope y'all had a great holiday. I, myself, got some fabulous loot, did plenty of lounging around, watched a few DVDs, waded through the snow a few times, did a little laundry and housecleaning one day, and generally acted like a (caged) lady of leisure for six days.

I really should be focusing today. Just in case I don't make it in every day for the rest of the week. (But it's so nice, having the office all to myself! I can ease myself back in to "work" mode.) On the other hand, I'm not excited about most of the stuff (Bookkeeping. Ugh.) littering my desk, and some of it I'm not sure what to do with.

For instance, how do I convince Bernie that something that's happened once is not necessarily a "trend" and that he should not refer to it as such?

In the long run, do I even care?

I'm eating gingerbread cookies that I got from MountainMike on his last visit. Had I noticed before the holidays that each of the little gingerbread men and women and stars and trees had holes in them, I might have realized they were meant to be edible ornaments.

They're pretty good as cookies, though. Especially with a cup of Celestial Seasonings' decal Chai tea.
