To which I've added plagiarism, it would seem.
This week has indeed been horrible, mostly through no fault of my own, but rather, in large part to other people not doing their jobs. Tonight's initial decompression plan includes a tub full of bubbles, a large glass of wine, an interesting book and Beethoven turned up loud. Simultaneously.
There are a few cheerful things today, though:
1. Lychee fruit. A bowlful of round, lumpy things is sitting in the office kitchen. A coworker's family runs an Asian grocery/deli, and she had brought these little beauties in for us to try. Think of them as grapes on steroids, with really, really bumpy skin and a bleached interior. The outside skin looks tough, but peels easily. The long brown seed in the center should not be eaten, but the white flesh around it is delicious. The flavor is grape-like, but much sweeter, with a little tang of peach flavor. They are ugly-cute and wonderful.
2. M & Ms. I had the forethought to pack a container of M & M's to bring to the office today - if there was ever a time for self-medicating with chocolate, it is now.
3. A quiet house. While there are often times, particularly on Saturdays, that the landlord's family is not home, there is a much different feel to the house when I know they are out of town. No that I'm going to have a wild party or anything. It's just nice to know I'm alone in the house. Well, except for the people who come to feed the cat, who come at all hours and stay inordinately long.
