[You don’t have to go, but you can’t stay here]

Christmas was a blitz. All that buildup and suddenly it’s over. Now I have lots of new toys to play with to waste all that free time school used to occupy.

I have the day off today, and had so many plans that were dashed by my inability to get out of bed before noon when I don’t have to. The thing that irks me about myself is that I woke up at 8 feeling nice and rested, and then forced myself back to sleep until 11:30, when I felt groggy and gross and completely useless.

Phil and I are heading to Selmer in a few since Brooke’s in the hospital, dilated 3 or 4 inches right now. I’m excited and scared for her.
