So This Is Christmas (Semester's Over)

I still have about five poems to revise and somehow package/turn in before I can say that I'm really done, but the end is two days away. Last week marked the end of classes, but my poetry workshop instructor gave until this Thursday to hand in revisions. Of course, I have to attend the MFA student reading on the 17th, too, but that will likely feel more celebratory than obligatory.

This particular morning finds me working from home waiting for the fireplace cleaner person to come and... clean the fireplace. Neither my sister nor I felt like arranging to be home to be with the dog, so we decided to forego the service last year. That means we've never used the fireplace. Since we're committed to moving when the lease is up, this could be the last chance for a while.

Guess this means I need one of those little sweeper sets.
