Busy-ness and the moments of quiet in between

Today was my first official day of vacation. Did I mention that? It's not terribly exciting, since I work hourly and really vacation just means a week without pay - so I can never afford to get away so to speak. On the flip side I *do* get to catch up on everything that's been neglected at the apartment lately, and holy moly molly is that a lot!



I always find it easier to get through doing a lot of chores by working in short spurts and giving myself little breaks. Like blog-reading and quality cat time.

Look at those cheeks!



Sometimes the cats decide that it's going to be a longer break than planned...



Perks of the day:

* Getting a good start on cleaning the apartment
* Watching Chocolat for the first time - (the clothes! I want to dress like Juliette Binoche in this movie every day!)
* Trudging out to my car to clean the snow off thinking that it was going to be a huge task, and having the huge clumps of snow just slide of my car in about five swipes!
* Impromptu dinner party with Jess and Allison, cooked delicious pork chops from Lasting Legacy Farm, and watched Dropped Dead Gorgeous for the first time. Hilarious.
* Ended the night with a few beers and a few good friends.

I'm content.
