Back to Work


The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency.

--Susan Allen Toth, England For All Seasons--


Well, it is back to work on a rainy day.  (Sigh)  It seems that these three-day weekends pass by so very quickly, and I am finding it gets harder and harder to get myself up and out the door.  On a day like this, I'd like nothing more than to call in sick, pull up the covers, and go back to sleep , but, alas, we are not allowed to call in the day before or after a holiday.  If so, we need a doctor's note. Otherwise, they take one of our personal days from us, and I want to be the one to choose when I take my personal time. 

Oh well, I'm not going to complain.  I'm here, and I am dry, and I plan to make the best of it. A little colder, and we might be in the midst of an ice storm. 

Wishing you all a wonderful day.

  2. What lovely opening piece. Must look for that book. Bet it has many lovey words in it.

    Glad you are dry and there. Hope the day goes well. Days after a holiday can be....... -sigh- You know.

    Used to be that way in our store. Mornings after a holiday, were 'wild.'

    this in turn makes us think more deeply about life,
    which helps us regain our equilibrium."
