this is the last day of my vacation

We took down the lights and the tree and, uh, the lights. I had lights in the loo and the kitchen and the dining room. Anyway, they're all down and the stockings are packed away and K even washed the dining room window. So, now, the curtains are open and we look out on the leaf covered garden and wait for snow.
We put the flannel sheets on the bed and it's supposed to be 11 degrees tonight. I love the cold weather, though I do need to figure out what I'll wear tomorrow. I am out of the habit of choosing outfits as I've been home since December 23rd.
But, it's back to work tomorrow!
Meanwhile, here in the nest?

I'm admiring these


 

from Division of Labor, reminiscing about our old Chemex



and watching Mr. Bourdain triumph over the seafood tower. He'll be in Amsterdam in 40 minutes. I'm looking forward.
