Mini-sabbatical day three: Personal Web site, rest, gym, errands
Day three began with working on my personal Web site from midnight until 3:30 a.m.
I slept until 11 (when I was awakened by the realization that it's 70 degrees outside, my landlord has turned on the heat to my apartment and I was buried under flannel sheets and a flannel comforter cover), ate breakfast and then went to the gym. Wow, that felt good. And I finished my workout in record time, since there was no one else there using the weight machines.
After the gym, I went to the mall to pick up a gift for Sharan & Sukh's new baby. I also did some window-shopping.
I saw the most gorgeous formal dress and doubled-back to try it on. Shimmery, bright green underlining with a black diamond-patterned taffetta sprinkled with sparklies and a velvet ribbon at the waist. It was so elegantly Slytherin.
Alas, it fit perfectly except that it was too small in the bust.
Oh well, I wouldn't have had anywhere to wear it, anyhow.
Edited to add: I've known this forever, but the first half of this week has certainly driven home the point that Work!Me and Creative!Me operate on two entirely different schedules. Work!Me prefers to get in early (8 a.m.), while Creative!Me doesn't get motivated until at least 8 or 9 p.m. Creative!Me is definitely in control during this mini-sabbatical. Especially considering it's 12:45 a.m. and I'm still quite happily working away ...
