Barb’s Burblings

This weekend was one of those just lovely, perfect weekends. It feels like quite some time since I’ve been at work, which is impressive–I mean, it’s only been since Friday. It probably helps that I left work feeling that I accomplished exactly what I wanted to do; I got one book off to the printer and finished reviewing pages of another, so I was really happy. And while I’ve had to do a bit of work over the weekend, it was never overwhelming. A few hours here and there isn’t much, and it was just so nice to be able to sit and watch tv and not think. I can’t remember the last time I just plopped down and watched a movie on tv on a Saturday afternoon! Plus, I got a freelance paycheck and my deposit from my old apartment and paid off some bills and such; while that money is all gone, it put me in a good frame of mind that I can have my finances sorted in the not-too-distant future.

And today I got to work the presidency exhibit again, which was great. It was Flag Day, and the museum brought in a fife and drums corps who were great; and it’s just so neat talking about Jefferson while hearing fife and drums in the background! Plus, one woman asked me about presidential assassins. Win! And there was a lovely family from Norway, and just everyone was so pleasant. I missed seeing the O’s trounce the Braves, but it was great turning on the radio in the car and hearing the score. And I topped it off with a nice chat with my sister.

It’s amazing how a low key, no stress weekend can really just improve the spirits. Mind you, when the alarm goes off at 7:15 tomorrow morning, I’ll probably be less chipper. Ah well.
