Countdown begins!

In case you haven't been obsessively counting down the days until Drew's return, there are 5 more days left until Drew returns to the U.S! So what's the plan for the remaining days? Work work work. Drew and Alex continue to try and get as much of their project done as possible. Though it doesn't have to be finished by the time Drew leaves, they're still feeling the time crunch! Since working long hours into the night is practically synonymous with take-out Chinese food, Drew and Alex indulge in the quick, easy, greasy but very yummy cuisine.

Although Drew's arrival seems to be approaching quickly, it's hard not to get prematurely excited about his return only to then realize that five days is still some time. So inevitably today I felt a bit down, plus it's also overcast, chilly, and drizzling. Blah. So what's a person to do? With the same rationale that I use for justifying large Froyo intake, this was my way to help me get through the day.

1. Nap.

2. Engage in emotional eating.

3. Engage in shop therapy. Fall in love with a dress not available in my size. Buy dress anyway.

4. Ignore gas prices. Drive to favorite library in suburbs.
Do not be fooled by my age and upcoming birthday, because I headed to the graphic novel section, gingerly stepping over 12 year olds reading in the aisles.

5. Escape into book.

5. Get back into pajamas. Make tea. Crawl into bed and watch Fraiser. I once heard from someone that Frasier is a show that only grandparents watch. I cannot seem to do anything age appropriate...

All I need to top off the day is a kitten massage. D'aww!
