back!

Vacation is over, vacation recovery period also over. Of course, I'm still in the process of recovering, getting back to the routines, etc. So this will be a short one - maybe a "5 things" kind of day.

5 things that irritate me this week

1. Snow. I find that we have way too much of it, and I am ready for it to go. This does not bode well for the next two and a half months.

2. Politics/robocalls. Need I say more?

3. School. Usually I'm pretty happy about my kids' schools, but I find catching up on all the paperwork I missed last week, and all the petty little stuff (like the need to wear your pjs OVER your regular clothes on Pajama Day - WTF?), is all bugging me a lot. Hoping for a fresher perspective next week!

4. Commitments. Way too many of them, and I'm feeling more like hibernating than being out and about amongst people. (Also, I'm having a hard time getting anything done - too many places to go.)

5. Authors. No, I did not make those corrections, and no, I don't know why the copyeditor did. You want them changed or not? Let's keep it simple, please.

Yep, I know. Grouch much? As I say, hoping for a fresh, new perspective next week.
