Drunken Owls and Other Delights

Our vacation is officially halfway over and now I'm feeling that usual 'where did it all go', even though we've done not much other than sleeping in, shopping, and doing a bit of day tripping. That was pretty much on purpose, really...a nice break with little planned after the chaos of Q4. Even today, our exciting trip was taking the bus up Geary to look at new bed mattresses. Whee! The only other things we have planned for this week is for my birthday tomorrow, in which we'll be stopping somewhere for tea and lunch, then picking up a tasty cake afterwards. Not much else planned! [And, as it happens, my schedule next week doesn't start until Wednesday, so that means I have a few additional days off in which to be extremely lazy get more writing done!] Alas, while the weather hasn't been bad, it hasn't been entirely warm or sunny here either. Mind you, it's a LOT warmer compared to the rest of the country right now, but I do wish that it was a bit sunnier and warmer!
