something creepy: every time I go to look at my tuition fee statement online (and I keep doing this obsessively because) someone has knocked another fifty dollars or so off the total. I was getting kinda paranoid about this, thinking up reasons, like that they had decided that I was really old and were giving me a senior's discount, or maybe a stupidity / we-feel-sorry-for-you discount when I remembered that all of the voluminous readings I did last term had to be returned, and that as I was leaving the returning place the cutie behind the counter said, "your refunds will be processed in a couple of weeks."
I'm baking potatoes in the microwave for lunch. There's no food in the house, but M's boss (the financial wizard) paid him on Wednesday and told him not to cash the cheque until Friday. I'm currently subsisting on leftover Christmas cookies and a box of Turtles my mother gave me.

Today at work I overheard a woman telling her friend that her New Year's Resolution was to buy more clothes. I think she must watch too much television. I mean, that's like an ad for the Gap or something. "Spoil yourself"...
I will be setting foot in a University lecture on Tuesday for the first time in almost 13 years. Wish me luck.

A few people at work today asked me what I did on New Year's Eve. I replied, "The kids and I watched Dick Clark and drank root beer." Which was only three quarters true. We did watch Dick Clark, and the kids did drink root beer. From wineglasses, their treat. I, however, drank the rest of the bottle of sherry my mother left.
Kids and I took the opportunity also to turn up the MuchMusic 24hr dance party and dance.

I should be doing the dishes. M has gone to Ben's, and the kids are pretending to clean the playroom.
I had a good day at work, today, mostly because at 10:30 one of my customers brought me sushi, and the mall closed early at 5 for New Year's Eve.
I guess I have to think of the word for 2003, now. I don't know. 2002 was freedom... that went well, don't you think? I think perhaps... Equanimity. It's my year, too, year of the Sheep.
