Happy Thanksgiving!
Well, I bowed out of my dinner invitation for today because I figured that with everybody else in the country off eating turkey, I'd finally have a decent internet connection and might be able to make up some lost time on a couple of projects that have looming deadlines. Just don't have the energy these days to put in hours driving and even more hours chitchatting—not to mention feeling guilty because I can't contribute anything to the feast. Too many things I desperately need to get done and not enough stamina at the best of times. (And I do have a friend closer to home who'll be bringing me a huge plate of turkey and fixings any time now so I'm not really a poor pitiful neglected soul.)
Of course, the internet is, as expected, back to its speedy-as-I-can-get-until-I-can-afford-broadband self. (Must have been all you good folks making holiday plans slowing things up the past few days!) But did I start right in to work today? Uh... Of course not. I've been checking out what other bloggers are up to, mixed in with a few breaks to do some actual work. So I've basically "wasted" at least the time I saved on driving, though at a much lower cost in energy, thankfully.
