Monday Morning

[qos]

It's Monday morning, 5:55am, and I really don't want to go to work today. I had a somewhat productive weekend, which was good, but I don't feel that I really rested, even though I slept late on Saturday and Sunday, watched some movies (although In the Time of the Butterflies, with its depiction of a dictatorship and the brutal murder of three sisters who were fighting it, was hardly conducive to ending the weekend pleasantly). What I really want to do is go back to bed, sleep another couple of hours, and have a nice, quiet in-my-cave holiday, do some reading for my classes, do some journaling, maybe do a tarot reading for myself.

Instead I'll be shutting down the computer in a few minutes, taking a shower and heading for work. Jeannie is out all week, which always makes things more difficult, because it leaves me more open to Miss V's demands - and I miss her presence and her sense of humor (a nice thing when one misses the boss when she's gone!). But I do have a couple of ongoing projects to work on to give me something to do. If only I can continue to evade the float committee. . .

As background today, I have my dreamwork to continue to mull over, and I've emailed a copy of rocket_jockey's new LJ trading card to myself so I can do some brainstorming about what to put on my own version. (Input welcome!)

I have Hebrew Scriptures class tonight. It's a good class, but at the moment I'm a bit too tired to actually look forward to it.

Hey- someone else who has seen in the Time of The Butterflies! We're a small and select band.

I declare an interest. Judy Klass, who co-wrote the screenplay, is a mate of mine.

In the Time of the Butterflies is a marvelous movie. But you're right: it's damn depressing. I have to be in the right mood to watch it. The ending hit me like a ton of bricks.
