The only time of year when the bus is fabulous

No one is working in Washington this week. Literally. My abhored bus ride, which usually takes a painful 35 minutes to 1 hr and 15 minutes to go four miles, only took 20 minutes today. It would have taken 10, but the driver had to take longer stops so he could stay on schedule.

There is no witty banter to offer today as my brain is recuperating from a week of non-stop with my family. N is still in the Pacific Northwest until Friday and most of my friends are still out of town as well.

Help me figure out ways to look busy when I actually have nothing to do and neither of my bosses are here.
