The week went by fairly quickly, no doubt helped along by my decision to take Monday off following my return from San Jose. A lot of people in the office decided to take today, if not most of the entire week, off, though thankfully not the person responsible for telling us we could leave at 3 PM this afternoon. Even when it’s for something like a dentist appointment — which I have coming up next month, actually — I enjoy leaving work early. It reminds me during the half-days we would have in high school, during testing. (Midterms and finals, essentially, though for some weird reason my high school worked on a trimester system.) It’s nice to beat the rush, too, at Penn Station and catch an earlier train.
Spending Easter with my sister and some of the extended family. They just bought the house in September, so I don’t know if they really wanted to be talked into hosting (Sunday brunch), but it should be nice. They got a dog a few weeks ago, which they didn’t have when we visited for her birthday in February, so I’m looking forward to meeting her.
Beyond that, today was pretty boring. Though this is definitely the weather I left behind in California, fully spring again. The sort of weather where you really only need a jacket when the sun goes down. Much better than the cold and rain we had earlier in the week, that’s for sure.
