....and rest

today is my first day off after 16 days of non-stop shifts. i did it for the money, it will be welcome at the end of january when the pay check arrives. yesterday i stayed late at work to help the boss redo things for the boxing day sales. it made me appreciate the hard work that goes into making a shop ready for such an event: the books needed to be restickered, new banners needed to be hung. different titles will now be going on the 3 for 2 offer (yeah! including several that i want to buy!!!) it all took several hours. and now i have two whole days of rest. i plan to sit around doing absolutely nothing other than sleeping and reading. i have a stack of books from work and from the library calling out to be read. i might watch a dvd as well, i have a bunch copied onto my computer. but mainly i want to curl up with a not-too-academic book and enjoy the break.....wednesday it is back to work.
