Monday through Wednesday were quiet for me, work, eat, sleep and repeat. Thursday, I worked a half day and I took advantage of that - I got a haircut (my first one in years!) and took my weekly trip to the library before settling in for an evening of drafting blog posts. Saturday, I worked and then unhauled some books at my local used bookstore. Sunday, I am going to get so...
