Monday Morning

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.

Why I Love 9 Chickweed Lane

For those of you not familiar with the strip, Dr. Juliette Burber is a professor of biology, and the divorced mother of a precocious teenage daughter named Edda. Juliette sometimes escapes the pressures of her life with "Panther Woman" fantasies.




And for the at least one of you who shares my delight in McEldowney's 'toons: Pibgorn resumes October 18!
