After coming home from what is usually a crazy morning at work each day, here’s what I have to look forward to:
Twenty-ten. Two thousand-ten. Whatever. I don’t know what’s up with me, but I’m not really in the mood to start a new year. Can’t we just slow down a little? Maybe take a nap instead?
I’m trying to focus on the happy things this morning:
–Cable and internet are up and running at home. I can get back to knowing what people are talking about when they bring up what happened during Obama’s latest speech (because there’s always something, right?).
There may be about a million things that I don’t like about our current apartment, but the one thing I love is our proximity to the Foggy Bottom Farmers’ Market. This week’s bounty:
Our first 2 1/2 weeks back in the US have basically been a blur. We’ve done a lot of driving - our families live about 2 hours apart, in the same state, but different time zones (thank you, Indiana!). And we’ve done some serious work on stimulating the economy - purchasing a new car, a fancy camera, and a laptop.
Six weeks and two days from our departure, I’m finally beginning to make some progress on the huge to-do list that has been staring me in the face for the past few months. Of course, it seems like each time I cross something off, another two or three things are added. Which explains my fragile mental state this week. I know it will all get done. I just wish I wasn’t the one that was responsible for taking care of it.
