Holy Daze

The Institvte is giving us Monday 12/24 and Monday 12/31 off as extra holidays, since it's kinda dumb to expect people to have a weekend, come in Monday, and then have a Tuesday holiday. So there go two days I won't have to use for vacation days! Rock on! I need to let my mom know about my holiday plans, since I never really got a chance to talk to her this past weekend. (She called while I was arriving at a restaurant for dinner.) I really have to wonder how holiday planning is going to work in the long long term. It's a bit intimidating. I guess it's also time to start planning Yule gifts. Eek.

I am currently eating my shrimp and linguini in marinara with a spoon and a knife, since we are out of forks.
