A Day of Relief

Note: Claire informed me that my sponser of dryer sheets should be rethought because they are bad for the environment. I have not yet researched further. Unfortunately, I also remembered a fifth use for dryer sheets: de-static-ing. Whatevs.

Today I decided to take a sick day. We're allowed to have 2 and I hadn't taken one yet... but I still felt a little guilty. Especially because 2 other co-workers decided to also take one. But they assured me it was fine so whatever.

So I woke up around noon (the latest I've woken up in months... not that I'm complaining at all-- waking up early is refreshing) and made some plans to deposit some checks and do some laundry. However, instead I went to an AMAZING jewish deli in Coolidge Corner which I've visited surprisingly seldom in my time at Boston. I've resolved to go again soon, probably with Claire who is finishing her job in a few days!!!!

I also got a zodiac book of birthdays which I actually already owned since like... 5th grade. But somewhere along the way it got lost, and every once in a while I just CRAVE to know about someone in a zodiac sort of way. I don't even really believe in it... but for whatever reason it always seems to help to know.

When I got home, I played (and won) Munchkin Cthulu (sp?) with some friends and we read our birthdays.

BUUUUT the best part of the day was JUST NOW when I looked to see my financial reward for school, the worry about which has sucked the life out of me for weeks... so much that I couldn't talk about it with ANYONE except my mother until a few days ago when I told my friend Caroline and realized how EXTREMELY upset I was.... I found out that I got my full reward from last year.

THANK. GOD. I could have had to pay an extra $25,000. Please reflect.
