I was indeed pretty worthless yesterday. I made one class a drop-in day, and had almost a dozen students with questions and feedback requests. The second class had presentations and I sent them home afterwards. I normally park about six blocks from the university and walk, but feeling so lousy, I splurged on $5 worth of parking on campus. I came home and napped, we ate leftovers, and DD and I decided to move our fun downtown Chicago day to week after next. I'll be done with school then, and I just couldn't think about going anywhere last night. I had lots of sleep, and feel significantly better. If I'm feeling up to it, I'll try to tackle some laundry and finish grading today--and maybe get some cookies made with DD tomorrow.
I'm looking forward (really!) to an uberfrugal January with many of you. In the meantime, I'm going to have a reasonably simple Christmas. My cheap-o wreath needs to have a bow attached, we still haven't bought a tree, and decorating can't really commence until I tackle the piles of grading and laundry. But I'm going slow. I've added $50 from SB to my Big Goal.
Lots of Sleep and Postponing the Day Away

I hope you feel better! Best to delay a fun trip until you're feeling up to enjoying it!
Take care! What are you doing in the Windy City? M and her roomie skated at the Maggie Daley park and looked at the windows on Michigan Avenue. Frugal and fun!

The Thorne Miniature Rooms are so wonderful! We saw them one Christmas at the AI and they it was so cool to see that some were decorated. We ate at the pub right across that shares my last name. Have a wonderful time when you go next week!
