Some has come off, but there is still a lot to go. I get as much as I can done tonight and tomorrow. I'm still off through Tuesday, but I want those last days to be just play days. I'm selfish that way!

[dcompton]

Are you ladies going to continue this in the new year? I hope so.

I have been thinking about how to make this work better for me. I need to. After one week back at work, by days off will go from Mon-Tue to Monday and Thursday. Out of five student workers, only one can work on Tuesday night because of class/lab schedules, and that means I have to. We'll probably hire another so it may be only for 4-6 weeks, but it may be for the whole semester. That will make it even harder to motivate myself to do anything, because split days off don't really feel like days off at all. At least that's been my own experience.

On the positive side, I never work more than three days in a row and it simplifies cooking and having leftovers on hand for brown bagging it.

So I need this thread next year! You are all an inspiration. And I promise to try to be better about it!

Well, if you are game for it, so am I.

Not sure I'll make it out to donate blood this week, so that might have to roll into next week's pyramid.

If not, I'll sub it with doing a load of laundry.
