Leap Year!

A whole extra day! Yahoo!

Until I looked at my calendar.

I had one of those non-stop back-to-back meeting schedules that would gag a maggot. I get an extra day, and someone clutters it all up with stuff. The nerve! I'm not kidding - from 7:30 am until well after 5 I hardly had room to wiggle much less get anything done. Well, there is no help for it. Sometimes all the vectors of your life collide and you just have to walk through it until they untangle and smooth out.

Good thing I was feeling energetic! So I began with the cleaning of the staff lounge bright and early, then on to teaching library information to some music theory classes, then on to reference duty. Amazing after that, my schedule suddenly unknotted, and I found some freedom. I didn't have to drive carpool - more than four kids not coming home. That put a huge freeway into the day.

By evening, Drew and I were talking about doing dinner and a movie, and things had slowed considerably. Back to a sane and sacred pace. Not bad for an extra day.
