International Go Back to Bed for the Day Day...

I've decided.

I need a mental health day. A day where I don't do a durned thing, unless I feel like it. I think the most I'm going to feel like doing is pointing the TV remote at the TV and press the appropriate buttons. I might take my Neo to with me. I might not. I might do my Christmas cards. I might not. I might read a book. I might not. I might sleep. I might not.

The whole point is that from 9 until 3, while my kids are at school tomorrow, Thursday, December 14th (in case there's any doubt), I'm taking the day off.

Should be sinfully delightful.

I even have fudge.
