It’s been a Monday sort of Monday, most of the day. Richard had the day off, since today is Veterans Day, and his workplace considers it a non-working holiday. So I got up and headed off to work and left him still in bed, while I wished I could have stayed home in bed too. It didn’t help that, when I walked into the office, I was the only one there, and spent the next few hours (until someone else finally showed up) wondering if maybe they’d just forgotten to send me the memo about how everyone else decided to just take the day off without me.

I was looking forward to today because this morning was when registration opened for retreat I really wanted to go to. Unfortunately, there were problems with the registration system, and by the time they got it back online and had sorted everything out for those lucky few who’d managed to get in anyway, every single class I had been interested in was full. I don’t fault the organizers – they had a big mess to clean up this morning when the system ground to a halt, and it surely did not help that some of them had to deal with losing power in the middle as well – but it was just frustrating to have been looking forward to something that apparently just wasn’t meant to be.
