I'm not sad or anything, but after all of the hustle-n'-bustle of the Holiday Season, sitting at home for hours watching TV and hanging out with my cat just doesn't seem to fill in the hours like it did before. It makes me appreciate being busy with school work.
Hah! It reminds of a character I like in Catch 22. In an effort to make his life last as long as possible, the character Dunbar actively seeks out jobs and pastimes that he hates or finds boring. He reasons that, since time flies while you're having fun, time slows to an absolute crawl when you're not. When asked why he would want a life full of things he hates, he says, "Well, it's all we've got."
It doesn't help that I'm waiting for packages to arrive. I've counted the days since buying stuff on Ebay, and I swear it's been at least a week and a half since last Friday. I just gotta keep reminding myself to stop and smell the roses, and not get caught up to much in the future when there's so many great things going on around me. Think I'll go for a walk...
Happy New Year everyone! =D

Happy New Year to you too Spud! Well you can count on a visit from me on Jan. 17 to rile things up around there. :-) Hope you enjoyed the walk...
I know, I get the post-holiday blues too. At least your vacation was longer than three days. You should teach Rikki tricks!
