Not Dismal in Dallas

It's raining inside, and by tomororw evening we're supposed to have sleet and snow. My fingers are crossed that we get that wonderful wintry mix tonight, and have to cancel school tomorrow.

Oh, I need a day off!!! I think the entire campus needs a day off. Even the most invterate teachers are complaining about how draining the semester has been. We all need a legal, unplanned vacation. A time to turn off the cell phone and hole up with the television and hot chocolate.

I want to spend tomorrow watching Desperate Housewives, and maybe (maybe) clean my living room since I'm maybe throwing a dinner party in a few weeks. And I also need to study for the Algebra test. DAMN IT -- reality is intruding already, and I don't even know if we're going to cancel classes.

I miss just being. No responsibilities.

That's one of the things I liked best about R. He could make me forget all that, or at least remember how important it all isn't. I thought one day we could curl up together and watch a season's worth of DVDs.

DAMN IT -- I'm not supposed to spend any more time on him.

Might as well clean the living room now, and get it over with.
