What I did on my Mid-Winter Break
I was sick. The whole time. In the time I didn’t spend on the couch watching copious amounts of TV, here’s what I did (in bullet form–I know, bullets get old, but I have medicine head):
Jamie took me to Victoria for belated Valentine’s Day! We went to the wax museum (photos to come later–digital camera plus wax figures equals fun), the underwater gardens (less interesting than you think), tea at the Empress (I forgot to put my pinky up), a yarn shop (he REALLY loves me!), and the Royal Museum. It was a very fun day.
On Wednesday I went to school to work for a bit, then had dinner with Caitlin. I sure do like time with friends (and burritos, but friends trump burritos)!
Creative impulses took over on Friday. I made two placemat tote bags for my cousins (who hopefully don’t read this blog). They are very cute (I meant the tote bags, but my cousins are too) and I want to keep them. Sigh.
Saturday was monumentous–I finished grading all the papers I have! I was so proud of myself I almost skipped out of Starbucks. Probably would have if it weren’t for this darned cold/flu/plague I have. Anyway, it’s a great feeling to be TOTALLY CAUGHT UP! Now I can stay that way (hopefully), and I will be a much happier person.
The balance of the break was spent on the couch knitting (or not, when I lost the energy for it) and watching Gilmore Girls, Friends, and the West Wing. And nursing Jamie back to health, since he got sicker than me on Saturday. Sure is fun here at Casa Panadera (our last name in Spanish 
). Now, off to microwaved tiny pies for dinner–I heart comfort food.
