monday?

It’s the first day of the week, but the office has a very Friday vibe today. Is there an underground Christmas party I don’t know about?

My in-the-spirit-of-Christmas moves today: I’ve started to give out presents (as soon as it’s wrapped, it leaves my room), and planning with S  the menu for this Thursday’s (oops, we moved it to Friday) lunch with the team and our work friends.

Last night, I slept late. Was very much in the mood to read, and went past the halfway mark on Three Junes. I like that I’m reading again. Yes, an actual book. I think this may be why my Canon conked out—to force me to pay attention to old loves. It’s a cameraless Christmas—sniff, sniff—but it may turn out to be a good one still. Here’s the picture sans an actual picture: Me sprawled in bed, surrounded by my pillows, my face tucked in a book, savoring the December-evening air.
