my very brief alone time

ya know what I like most about the CNY break?

Very smooth traffic to town, being alone, walking through a rather quiet Borders, taking my time to browse through the books and magazines, knowing that I do not have to go to work the next day.

This is made possible because, all the other shops at Wheelock are closed. Many people are having their post-reunion dinner fellowship somewhere, I do not have tasks to rush and complete and I am given time while waiting for my next appointment.

This feels like a true holiday.
