Rest a little, rest a little, cheep, cheep, cheep... I cried "uncle." Took a couple days off from the Bat Cave of my office and decided to hunker down at home. Nice idea. It's raining here today. Our winter. Rain and forty degrees. So I finished Neel's hat, and I'm going to clear out the mess that has become the Blue Rain Room, do some laundry, make plans for Neel's birthday dinner... that kind of thing. It's just nice to be alone (aside from the dogs) in the house and know that I have the next few days stretching before me.
