Freebie

Well now this will be interesting.

School has been called off (again) for a general strike on Tuesday. My boss told me not to bother coming in this weekend because he (not me) didn't prepare correctly and thus I don't have the stuff I need to work on. I also got paid today. Wee... it's springtime in Paris and I have Friday, Saturday, Sunday, possibly Monday, and part of Tuesday FREE.

I was so happy about this development that I walked home from work this evening. It's quite far. It's even further when you get lost and do a complete circle like I did (literally, a 20 minute circle). But, I didn't care because it was a beautiful evening, and I even stumbled upon some parts of Paris I have never seen before (hence the getting lost).

But whatever! I can get lost all I want, because I don't have to work for days. That means time! For me! And all of the other things I've been wanting to do for the last two months.

I'm determined to use my time off to finish the projects I've been meaning to finish but haven't had the time/energy: two web sites to fiddle with, a house to clean, books to sell (tons), Arabic to master, and a planet to conquer. I'm thinking I can get it all done by Sunday evening, so that I can go somewhere cute with The Boy and make him buy me dinner. 'Cause I can't cash my paycheck until Monday.
