I feel it. We’re not celebrating until tomorrow because my grandfather is in the hospital, and we don’t want him to be alone on Christmas. Everyone has tomorrow off anyways. ---

Bored, no. Tired, overworked and with a chore list the length of my key board? Yes. Go do an home inprovement project. That will take the boredom right out. ---
