Friday Furlough Day #1

Today marks my first Friday Furlough Day. I’ve spent alot of time leading up to this trying to figure out what I will do with these Fridays. I had a list that included various home repairs and cleaning that I’ve never gotten around to doing. The kids are away at school because schools haven’t been closed – yet.

So despite a very ambitious to-do list, I find myself sitting in a cafe leeching an internet connection so that I can upload photos of my trip last weekend to Point Reyes and update my dumb phone. Realistically, this uploading thing is going so slowly that I’m doing a little potty dance in my chair. It’s sad that, in this economically shitty world, I’m afraid to walk away and leave my computer and other belongings unattended in a downtown coffee shop long enough to pee.

But such is life.
