The Squee, it is MASSIVE

queenbookwenchI'm on day two of being out of school, and it is MADE OF AWESOME. Although I probably won't think so in June, when these days are added onto our already long schedule.
But right now, I'm floating on a cloud, and nothing can dampen my squee. Being snowed in for Valentine's Day was perfect, even if my Valentine is, well, me. :) But I suspect that there were a lot of happy couples enjoying themselves around the greater DC metro area. ;)
And, tomorrow is Parent-Teacher Conference Day, which is almost like a vacation day for me, because there are no kids, and of course librarians don't have to see parents, so I can work in peace and quiet, at my own pace, and get caught up with a bunch of stuff. Also, we don't have to be in until 9:45. Then we're into President's Day weekend, and the only dark spot is Saturday test prep, but frankly, since the kids have been off since Tuesday afternoon, I'll be very surprised if more than a couple of them show up.
My roommate![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vigee_le_brun is traveling for the long weekend, and I hope she makes it without too much difficulty. She's a great roommate (and probably far more tolerant of my foibles than I deserve), but sometimes it's fun to have the place to myself, so that I can do stuff that I would never subject other people to, like playing The Best of Sheryl Crow really loud and dancing in the living room, or making messy collages and watercolors in the kitchen.
It's been a while since I've felt so free, so contented and relaxed. I really needed this downtime, more than I realized.
