  1. I rearranged my books over the weekend, and the shelves look so much nicer like this, even if I did strain something in my wrists moving things around…
  2. My wrists feel better today!
  3. Since I worked six hours yesterday and six hours today, I get to work just five hours on Thursday and Friday. (I work six hours twice a week, five hours three times a week, and three hours once a week, with one day off. Normally I’d be studying as well, but the new year hasn’t started yet, so for the moment it’s free time.)
