I have the afternoon off. It's soo nice to have some time to catch up with all the parts of my life that have been neglected in a frantic rush to get work finished and look at houses. This evening I am going to... look at more houses, but until then I have a couple of hours to do nothing very important, like laundry and livejournal. And eat my cinnamon pretzel. Still have tons of work to do, but none of it's horrible burning urgent, so as long as I keep at it...
