Pink-eye, Harry Potter and Leonard Cohen

So this week is 'march break' which is sweet if you're in highschool/elementary school. For me, it means that I have all 4 of the kids to watch. I was stressed about it for a lot of last week but then I woke up with pink eye! It's pretty darn grosse, but it means I get to stay home from work. I also was pretty sick today. I watched some Harry Potter with my mom and enjoyed napping. I hope my boss doesn't think I was just trying to get out of work.

As for posting, I didn't think anybody read my blog anymore, so I didn't post anything. I'm sorry guys. Janice and Kaylie, you're sweethearts and its nice to know you care.

I've been reading some Leonard Cohen lately and I must say he's a genius. I went to london last weekend and picked up one of his books at a chapters. I recommend reading his poetry/lyrics if you get a chance.

I wonder how many people in this city
live in furnished rooms.
Late at night when I look out at the buildings
I swear I see a face in every window
looking back at me,
and when I turn away
I wonder how many go back to their desks
and write this down.

Pink eye is so freakin nasty. I'm so sorry. Ugh. I've only ever had it once, but was not lovin it. But hey - any chance to watch HP is good.
