rivkaMy vacation has officially begun!
I don't have to be back at work until May 10. My boss doesn't know I'm not leaving town, and my work voicemail and e-mail both have an outgoing message explaining that I won't be returning messages until the 10th. I've cleared my desk in the clinic and in my research office. I'm on vacation.
This is exciting.
I have some plans, but I don't know how vigorous I'll be about them. I thought about planning out my week to make sure that I actually did some special things, instead of just goofing off online - and then I figured, what the hell. There's no harm in "wasting" the week, if I really wind up being so tired that I don't want to do anything at all.
But here's what I want to do:
- I want to see Goodbye, Lenin with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
minnaleigh. (Fortunately, we've already got that scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.)
- If I stop wheezing and coughing sometime soon, I want to go hiking. My allergies have calmed down in the past couple of days, and hopefully the cough will leave with them.
- I want to put in some serious time towards finishing my current cross-stitch project, so that I can start the new one.
- I have a couple of home projects in mind. I want to put together a candle arrangement for the nonworking fireplace in the living room (shame I didn't do it before it got too warm for candles, but at least this way I can ensure that it will be done by fall). And I want to make a little chalice I can use for meditation.
- I want to go back to the Baltimore Museum of Art to see the mosaics.
- I want to take a book to City Cafe and sit there all morning, reading and drinking tea.
- I want to dust off the short story I started writing, a while back, and see if I remember how it's supposed to go.
- I want to sleep in every single day.
- I want to start putting the red bedroom to rights for our Spanish exchange student.
- I want to post a lot to Respectful of Otters.
- I want to have lunch withwcg, just like we used to do when we worked in the same city.
Hmm. Maybe I should've taken off more than a week.
