Among the many things I failed to remember when I agreed to do the volunteer thing I said I would but had to bow out of because I feel like hell was the three day weekend: if K doesn't have school on Monday, Tuesday becomes my Monday, and if, as is the case today, an "unspecified threat" closes the school on Tuesday, Wednesday becomes my Tuesday which became my Monday, my shut-in/recharge day: not that I don't love having her home (and away from anything involving threat), but the reclusive ornamental hermit introvert in me can't stand being around other people for at least a day after two or more in the company of others, no matter how much I may enjoy said company; I usually don't schedule any social interactions on Mondays or Fridays, comfortable bookends of solitude to weekends of coupledom. It's better for everyone involved and the population at large.
