I don’t have to go to work next week, which will feel a bit odd.
That meant that today was my last day of work until the new year, which means that my Christmas vacation started at around 6 PM today, even though Katie’ll still have to work through Wednesday of next week.

What will I do with myself at home for three days? Play video games until my eyes dry out? Finish crocheting that lion I started years ago? Finally watch season 1 of The Wire? Work on a random web application?

I predict all of those…and more! I wouldn’t be surprised if I even managed to get in some useful work next week, like mowing the lawn or making dinner for the two of us.

I will say that it feels nice to know that I have nothing but relaxation ahead of me for two weeks; I don’t even remember the last time I could say something like that. It’ll be nice to play through some of the games I’ve been storing up, too.

And maybe, just maybe, I can actually break my entire series of the Wire out of its shrink wrap. Also, I’ll probably eat cookies for lunch at least one day next week.
