day the somethingth

I am in the deepest denial about the fact that I have just one more day off before I go back to work. It's the longest I've had off at a stretch since I started this job, and it's been lovely but I was also sick for more than half of it, plus holiday plans, so it doesn't feel that long.

We're now into that part of the work cycle where I have to hope and pray that people now attend the events and sign up for the classes that we've been planning, because a) I want them to be successful, generally, and b) I dread having to cancel things and deal with performers/artists/instructors to do so. We've also got a couple of gallery shows that are more tenuous that I'd like, and I've just remembered that I need to find someone to construct some temporary framework in the gallery for the clay tile show, but that's not till February.

I am trying very hard not to think about this until after my vacation is actually over. I have not been successful so far. I've gone in to work twice over the holidays, and checked my email almost daily.

I did absolutely no writing today, but I did finally get some more Yuletide reading done. This tonight, and probably one last one tomorrow night.
