As We Say Goodbye to Our Vacation ...

I already have my lunch made for tomorrow, and will have my clothes laid out as soon as I try on something I picked up at Target this morning. I had such a lovely week. It was relaxing, I saw doctors but got no bad news, I didn't spend much money. I spent time with the Sibs and the Chum, and even R yesterday. What a nice week.

Yet I am not unhappy about going back to work tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, actually, because I have a lot to do, and it's a lot about putting my stamp on this library, something I haven't felt ready to do before, I guess.

I did do something yesterday that falls into the category of will-this-day-ever-come? I made the final tuition payment EVER EVER EVER. I wrote a whole long entry on it some weeks ago, in anticipation of this wonderful event happening, but I'll just post the short form for now. Suffice it to say that my kids' college was the greatest expense I have ever dealt with or, I hope, will deal with. It cost more than my house. Hell, just the second kid alone cost more than we paid for the house. And it's done.

Nothing else to report, then. Maybe a little laundry to do and clothes to try on, and then a nap before the Oscars tonight. I haven't seen any of the movies, although last night I tried to watch a copy someone lent me of Frost/Nixon, and it looked wonderful, but I couldn't follow without the closed captions, and of course, the copy didn't have them, so, ah well. But I'm curious to see the show tonight, even if I end up switching to George Lopez at ten.
