NOW it feels different

Today was a lovely holiday in Canada. Everyone was off, wandering about, except for those poor souls who work in retail. Sorry, guys.

Actually, all weekend was holiday around here. I couldn't take time to celebrate Canada Day, since I'm busy putting the finishing touches on the summer issue. In a strange turn of events, perpetually hard-working hub took more time to relax, garden, kayak and party with the family than I did. I had my head down.

Tomorrow, however, my life will finally be different. The country goes back to work, and so do I, except my commute is now 9 steps from my bed, and the dress code is way casual. So still no holidaying for me just yet, but I no care. This is what I've waited 3 years to do. Go to work for me.

That, my friends, does not suck.

[And when Knitty comes out, any moment now, there will be a tiny break for merriment and silliness and I might even cast on a new sweater to celebrate. That Suss yarn is calling my name and I don't think I can resist much longer.]

P.S. To my American friends, happy 4th tomorrow. Have some apple pie for me, k?
