my toes are being tickled

i've been alternatively on the job and frittering my time away.  Frittering - discovering new things to read, making my way through four Tanya Huff books in as many days, goofing around online for hours and hours and hours.  Yet on the job hasn't been so bad - doing all those mundane things I'm supposed to have accomplished during the break - laundry, packing up the christmas decorations, updating the address book.  And then the vaguely scholastic stuff - all those pesky academic details (like making sure my last recommender actually send her letters at some point before the colleges send out their acceptance letters), making sending check ins to my advisor, cleaning up my school email.

I still have a to do list that's three miles long, but I have hope and faith I may actually get through it someday.  And as it stands I'm taking each lazy day as an opportunity to be mildly productive and partially lazy.
