Today was a day I could have used a statutory holiday. Unfortunately, I work for the federal government so I didn’t get the day off.

Last night I tossed and turned in bed until 3 in the morning. It was the same old stuff that usually plagues me in the middle of the night - worrying about things that are absolutely out of my control! I can honestly say that I haven’t had a night like that in awhile, though. I don’t miss them.

The nice thing about working on the holiday was the roads - they were crystal clear. It took me fifteen minutes to get to work this morning. It usually takes me forty. The same thing happened in the afternoon, it was quite nice. I got back into my audio book as well; I had avoided it for about a week simply because I was booked out. I needed a rest from the written word, but now I’m back into it. By the end of this month I’ll have two of my twelve scratched off, which is right on schedule.

I’m tempted to watch another movie tonight but I think I’ll fall asleep in this chair if I attempt it!
