Today is Friday, but it feels like a Saturday to me. This is a good thing -- because I will now get two (count 'em, TWO) Saturdays in a row.
I am SO playing hooky today!
I was out with the Little Owl last night, and midway through a very animated discussion on what we are going to wear this summer when it is hot and sunny outside, I had a great revelation that not only did I not have to go to work today, I in fact would not be. It made the rest of the evening much more fun.
I called my boss this morning, right after I woke up of course, so my voice would still have that growly-scratchy sound that could be interpreted as either "I just woke up" or as "I'm deathly ill." He actually started to question me on whether or not I could afford the time off given the state of all of our projects, and I was very tempted to yell at him about the fact that HE took yesterday off because he had a freakin' hangover, but managed to restrain myself to very clearly and concisely stating that my projects were fine despite having to re-do a large amount of work yesterday, and I would be seeing him on Monday, thank you very much, and oh by the way while you were gone yesterday here are the issues that came up and here are the people that you need to talk to about resolving them. That felt very good.
I am currently lounging about my eponymous royal bedchamber in comfy jeans and a new grey tank, listening to my Bubblegum Mix*, and thinking about going to the grocery store to buy a filet mignon to cook for my lunch. Yep. Life is sweeet today.
